servlet and multiple jsp windows

[Peter Straw]

Hi,
I have a situation where 2 browser windows are open at the same time showing different jsps - display.jsp is for display only; update.jsp submits any changes to a servlet which does a database update.
The problem is that display.jsp doesn't show the change until it is refreshed.
Is it possible to get the servlet to refresh the display window (and ideally close the update window)? I am calling RequestDispatcher on the display.jsp but it seems to be refreshing update.jsp??
Thanks

If you have a parent/child relationship between the windows, the update window can execute a JavaScript function to refresh the display window when you submit the data.
