Caching issues config files

[dotdotcommadot]

Hi there,

I'm having some issues with caching of the config files.

What I do is:
_applicationContext = new FlexXMLApplicationContext();
_applicationContext.addConfigLocation("resources/applicationContext.xml");
_applicationContext.load();

Now, whenever I do an update of applicationContext.xml and upload this file,
the file in the cache keeps getting loaded in my app.
I have about 300 user for my app worldwide, and a lot of them don't know too much about computers and clearing cache etc.

I know there's this wordaround where you add a date or a random number to the end of the path of your UrlRequest, but since the load() function is hidden in the framework, I can't implement this of course.

So my questions are:
- is there a property that forces this workaround?
- Am I the only one running into this issue?

Thanks in advance!
Hans

Hi Hans,

sorry for the delay on this message. I was not notified of the activity on the forum.

About your issue, we used to append a random value to the URL by default but that caused problems with AIR applications that loaded context files locally if I remember correctly.

You can normally just append a value yourself like this:
_applicationContext.addConfigLocation("resources/applicationContext.xml?r=" + new Date().time);

cheers,
Christophe

Yes, i figured this out as well.
I should've given it a bit more thought before posting

Anyway, thanks for your answer!
