Serious Portal Caching issue.

[bmcgovern]

<p>I have a problem that is causing multiple form submissions in a my portlet.  <br/> <br/>When you first load my portlet page you are displayed a form that you must fill out and submit.  When you click the submit button, it obviously submits the form.   But the next time you load that portal page, it submits the form again, instead of drawing it in its initial state with the empty form.  I'm relatively certain its a cache problem but according to this post, theres no clean way to do this.  <br/>[<portlet:actionURL></portlet:actionURL> | <portlet:actionURL></portlet:actionURL>] <br/> <br/>Does anyone have a creative solution for me.  This is gonna be a showstopper for my using JBoss portal. </p>

What do you mean by "load that portal page"? Are you refreshing the page? Or are you following a link?

It's difficult to tell without seeing what your portlet actually do but it seems like you might be confusing render and action URLs. The spec is your friend, don't hesitate to read it! :)

Yeah I had just figured out that ActionURLs and RenderURLs are quite different. And I did read the spec, though I can't say its my friend yet, we just met. Thanks for the help either way, much appreciated.

Glad I could help and glad to hear that it's not a Portal issue... ^_^
