About caches, struts and webapps...

Hi all,

I've got an issue with the cache on a page where there's a webapp.
-The webapp contains 2 "screens": a search form by criteria, and a 
result list.
-The entry point of my webapp is a Stuts action. I've used a tip from 
this list in order to use an action as entry point:
    -In the web.xml, set welcome-file-list to setup.do.
    -create an empty file named setup.do
    -create an action mapped to "/setup"
All works fine in standalone.

-I launch the webapp once. All works correctly: i can launch a search, 
have a result list. If i look my webapp's logs, the setup Action is 
executed.
-I go to another page, come back to the page containing the webapp: the 
search form is displayed.
-i quit my explorer, relaunch it, go the the webapp page: the search 
form is displayed. But If i look my webapp's logs, the setup Action is 
NOT executed. So my webapp doesn't work because some variables have not 
been initialised.
So i've supposed this was a cache problem: If after the relaunch of the 
browser i access through "/cache/offonce/" url of the webapp page, all 
works fine.....

I've consulted the mailing archive and found this to remove the cache:
-put "setCacheExpirationDelay(Long)" in JSP,
-put request.setAttribute("org.jahia.portletapi.CacheExpirationDelay",  0)

But....it doesn't work ! i have the same problem. The only way to solve 
for the moment is
- to access via "/cache/offonce/", but it''s not possible to create such 
link in pages that call my webapp's page...
- to do what setup Action do in the search form JSP of my webapp....but 
like this, the init code is executed every time the webapp is accessed !

Have you heard of such a pb?? have any idea? I've heard that 4.0.6 and 
4.1 should resolve some cache issues....

Thanks a lot,

Guillaume.
