Cyrill,
Ok, I got it working, and the problem is now -- I don't know why!
Here's what I did. I left it so there were no cache params in any of the
three files. Then, I wrote that message to you, which you just answered.
Then, I tried the url by IP. No difference. Then, on a lark, I tried
adding cache:user only to the navigation.jsp file. It worked! I even
tested with two different users and they both had two variants. Then, I
changed the property to uri, and that works too. So, I don't know what
happened. I'm a bit bothered by that, but I'm happy that it works now.
But, thanks for pointing me in the right direction regarding flex, in
general.
Arian, I'm going to look into the login method you suggested. Thanks a lot
for that info. I'll let you know how it works out.
Regards,
Philip

Hi Philip
I'm not sure but try to request your page by IP rather than localhost.
regards
Cyrill
