Servlets and HTML forms loading old data [message #792183]

I have created a few basic servlets and HTML forms in eclipse. But while running a HTML say A.html the browser is still loading data of some other servlet say AServlet.java. Though the browser URL shows A.html but the data is of AServlet.java. These two files are unrelated and not mapped using the web.xml as well.

I have cleared and deleted the server. Did clean- build several times, removed and added project and retried again and again. But its still not working.

I tried deleting the project and the server. But after creating the servlet and adding the server, same problem recurs.

Please help.

Hi,

Did you try clearing your browser cache too? By default most browsers
cache the results of URL and the next time the browser goes for that URL
it doesn't even go to the server for it, it just pulls it out if its
local cache.

For things like servlets where the output for a specific URL can be
different on every call then you need to tell the browser to not cache
the output of the servlet.
