Geez.  I don't know much about JSP, but I from what I've seen it looks
both frustratingly primitive and astoundingly complex.  I would hope
that Quixote could smash JSP to smithereens rather than being merely
"competitive". ;-)

Read my Linux Journal article for ideas:

I've been meaning to cook up a patch for quixote.form2 to allow this.
For now, you're stuck.  ;-(

Could you explain what that does?  Some (probably most) have no idea how
.net works.

Such restrictions indicate broken design.  Fix your design so users can
do whatever they like in the browser; if you don't, someone will hit
"Reload" or "Back" no matter what you tell them, and then where will you
be?  (Or, some broken/malicious client that may or may not be a web
browser will do it.)
