JDeveloper 10g: Preserving JSP Translations

Question

Hello,
Can anyone tell me how to get JDeveloper 10g to preserve JSP page translations (in the \classes\.jsps folder)?
I'm new to JSP development and I am getting an error when making a JSP page that says that the request and session variables are not available when using something like:
<%! String var=(String) session.getAttribute("someAttribute"); %>
I figure that looking at the translated page will tell me a lot about my errors.
Thanks,
Rich

I managed to develop some functionality similar to what you both describe for a system that I have previously developed.
auto refresh a jsp page after x seconds
add a meta data refresh tag to the top of the jsp page that will automatically recall the servlet after x number of seconds. e.g.
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=http://servlet.do">
display a processing page whilst a query is being executed
from the submit button of a page, display a processing graphic on a page until the query has finished and then display the results page.
As with most things in Java this can be done many ways; I implemented this a couple of ways;
a) display the processing page when the submit button is pressed and then when the servlet has finished executing get it to post the results to another page
b) use a java bean that the servlet updates when the query has been completed so that the processing page knows to forward on to the results page
I hope this is of some use to you.
Thanks
