Can any one tell me why i get such large number of POST messages to the WEBBRICK... It is crashing my WINDOWS within 5 minutes. I am trying to make a portlet that will periodically refresh the stock quotes. The quotes are arranged in atable and pulled from mysql database .

Before even looking at your code, you should be able to tell what the problem is based on the behaviour, but let''s take a look at the code anyway (snipped to show the relevant lines):> my view ( index.rhtml) > <%= render :partial => "ticker_box",:layout => false %>> my partial (_ticker_box.rhtml) > <%= periodically_call_remote( :update => "myinfobox",:frequency => > 60,:url => { :action => "index" } ) %>index.rhtml is including a partial which updates part of the page with index, which includes a partial, which updates part of its page with index... Can you see where this is going? :) This is known as mutual recursion.> It is crashing my WINDOWS within 5 minutes.Do you mean your browser windows? After 5 minutes, it should still only be around 2^4 requests -- if this is crashing Windows, you probably have other issues with your OS.

Thanks I could get rid of the issue by putting the periodically_call_remote in the index.rhtml .
