Delay execution time

Question

Hi Guys,
I have two jsp page that load inside iFrames. One page sets a session variable that the other needs to read. The problem i am having is that the second jsp page sometimes renders before the the first one causing an error.
I have tried the following:
<%
//page 1
session.setAttribute("theUser", userID);
//page 2
if(session.getAttribute("theUser") == null)
response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-store"); //HTTP 1.1
response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-cache"); //HTTP 1.1
response.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache"); //HTTP 1.0
response.setDateHeader ("Expires", 0); //prevents caching at the proxy server
%>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="3">
<%
%>The above code sometimes works and sometimes it just loops forever. Is there a better way to get this accomplished?
Thanks!

You could use JavaScript. In the frameset page set the fame displaying the second jsp to a dummy url or url of a blank html page. Then in the first jsp page put on th ebottom of the page a script to set the location of the other frame to your second jsp page. This way the second jsp will not be called until the first page has loaded.
