Firmin,
Due to the inherient problems with frames here is a solution for your
case.
Abstract out the logic to generate the list of items in a different
Action object.
When you are outputting the the <FRAME> HTML tag,
map that to the action object that will generate the list items.
Ex:
<FRAME
src="buildMenu.do?paramThatYouNeedToBuildList=value&OtherParam=2">
If you are submitting your form from a frame and not building a <FRAMESET
try this:
I am guessing that you have to sibling frames and the frame with the
list items is called "menuFrame".
<Body onLoad="callAFunctionToReloadMenuFrame()">
this function would reload the menuFrame with the URL above:
buildMenu.do?paramThatYouNeedToBuildList=value&OtherParam=2
Hope This Helps,
Abraham
