Right. This will certainly work, but probably not well. This is why projects like Open Reports offer scheduling and batching so that you aren't tied to the request/response HTTP model. When you do things asynchronously, you can do them when the load on the server is low, or, better still, do it on another server that isn't handling loads of user requests. | Another tweak is to cache the generated reports if they are unlikely to | change frequently etc etc... I think this was the OP's original desire, but everyone pushed him towards generating content directly to the servlet output stream. Unfortunately, Tomcat seems to take a snapshot of the content it serves as the webapp comes up, and it doesn't believe that new content can be added during the life of the webapp. That was the original question (see the subject line): how can I tell Tomcat to refresh its content snapshot? - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkf05t8ACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDUfwCfVvvMu4zodnjNxTRc2UrVRb0O +CwAn33hs1elwqVBZY4NO6kIzICkVEhS =bXEw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
