I'm not sure what your suggesting is architecturally a good idea, but that's for you to decide :) I'm all about helping you make it happen regardless, so...
In addition to the options others have mentioned, another to consider is the AjaxParts Taglib (APT), a part of Java Web Parts (JWP): http://javawebparts.sourceforge.net/ More specifically: http://javawebparts.sourceforge.net/javadocs/javawebparts/ajaxparts/taglib/package-summary.html This will allow you to fire an AJAX request on a timer, without having to write any Javascript. It will work with Struts 1.x, 2.x, or any other (java-based) framework. Frank -- Frank W.
