I have an object in session and when retrieve it and populate it into the form, some previously information are displayed. (This happens only on Explorer) I do this: Tools->internet Option-->delete->delete cookies ...refresh and I see the real object's data (the one I requested) in the form Question: How to avoid that or delete the cookies before populating it into the form? should that be done in the view/jsp or action? thanks

More importantly, why are you using cookies to store application data? Cookies are 1) Not reliable - may or may not exist 2) Not secure - may or may not be changed by the user Google something like "clear cookies javascript" for the answer to your question.

It could also be that the session id is what is being stored as a cookie (this is very common). By deleting your cookies, you will get a brand new session the next time you hit a page. If you are storing your forms in session, I suspect that this is the cause of you problem. - Brent
