Newbie Question: How to Disable Caching?

["Robinson, Eric" <er...@pmcipa.com>]

We have a medical program that runs on two tomcat servers behind an LVS
load balancer. Everything works fine except for one particular function
that apparently relies on data in the tomcat5/work directory. If the
load balancer directs a request to a tomcat server that has different
cache data, the function fails.

Is there a way to disable caching in tomcat so nothing gets stored in
the work directory? Or is that just a stupid question?

(OS, tomcat version, etc, please)

It depends on what the data is and how it got there; can you enlighten 
us as to what is the 'particular function'?


If the application (rather than the server) is writing data to the work 
dir, then that's the component that needs fixing (by storing the data in 
a database perhaps).
