[snip] Are you storing anything in session scope which might cause the function to be cached? No -- when the SUBMIT button is pressed, a bean is instantiated, the bean's properties are set based on the HTML form, and then the bean's "insert" method is called. The "insert" method gets a connection from Tomcat's connection pool, uses it to create a PreparedStatement, and then uses the bean's properties to set the PreparedStatement's parameters. It executes the statement, and finally closes the PreparedStatement and then the Connection (in a finally { } block) before leaving the method. So, nothing's being stored in the session -- the bean, PreparedStatement, and Connection objects are all created and destroyed/closed in the scope of the request. However, it is possible that each request is using the same database connection, since each request closes the connection it used, returning the connection to Tomcat's connection pool. Even if the connection is the same, however, the specific PreparedStatement should have gone away when it was closed, shouldn't it have? And even if it cached the PreparedStatement, why/how would it be able to cache Postgres's response to it?
