Hi Jeff -- Once your jsp outputs its data, its job is done and there is no opportunity for it to update anything. The only way data can be updated is if the client requests it, which means you'll have to force the client to refresh. If it's a browser, set the appropriate header or include the correct HTML tag (I don't know the currently "best" way to do this, but you specify how often you want to refresh and the URL to get -- google for "HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh"). This is only an approximation of what you're trying to do ... if you want live communication between server and client, you'll need something on the client to listen to the socket (and applet would work) and act accordingly.
Hope that's enough to get you going... let me know if you need more specifics. justin At 11:08 AM 1/14/2003, you wrote:
Hello! Forgive this very newbie-ish question. If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Is it possible/feasible to have .jsp page refresh the data it's displaying when the data on the backend changes? For example if I have a .jsp page that queries and displays data from a database, can the page be coded to monitor the data and when it changes, refresh what is displayed in the user's browser? I hope the question makes sense. thanks! -jeff __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
