Re: New version not being detected by browser

Thanks J.

but I remember reading that gwt apps are meant to be cached... (early in version 1.3 - 1.4)
My app now compiles as 780k .cache.html files (even using deferred-binding).
This approach would download 780k for each tab opened in the browser... is this correct?

I thought these generated files would be cached by browsers.
I was assuming the compiler generated unique filenames every new compilation...
The main JS would be downloaded everytime (small file) and then would get from cache (or download) those 780k.
If the filename changed, it would not be in browser's cache. Can GWT work this way? Why not? 

Thanks
ERS

Hello,

you have to configure your server to tell the clients to never cache .nocache.html files.

See: https://developers.google.com/web-toolkit/doc/latest/FAQ_DebuggingAndCompiling#What%27s_with_all_the_cache/nocache_stuff_and_weird_filenames
