You can target any frame for the result to go to in your form tag
e.g.
<form target="frameName"..
then for any other frames that need refreshing have a javascript function that
refreshes them when the form's target frame is done
loading.
e.g. in the html returned to "frameName"
<body onLoad="refreshOthers('myFrameName');"...
where refreshOthers is a function in the parent window that knows which frames should
be updated when a new frame is returned.
e.g. frameB.location="myservlet?infoFor=frameB"
All the refreshes should just be able to use sessions normally since the original post
will have updated the session and returned
when the other pages get refreshed.
Does this help?
