Maybe you should try to minimize this load time. Is it possible that you could use persistence instead of querying the db everytime someone wants to view this page?
I'm using a Caching API that was(maybe still is) part of Jive forums, I know that there are others as well. Instead of querying the database everytime I need some data, I check to see if I already have this data in memory. If you already have a model, this is easy to do. -Dave > -----Original Message----- > From: Quentin.Cope [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 8:39 AM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: RE: Automatic refresh - IS THIS POSSIBLE? > > > Cool > > Much more complete answer than mine but still not a great > idea, and has the same downsides as the meta tag stuff, > unless I am missing the point.
