Re: SerializationException when application is modified

We are following the recommendations on http://www.gwtproject.org/doc/latest/DevGuideCompilingAndDebugging.html#perfect_caching

But I am afraid that whatever the headers some browsers will cache some files anyway so we really need a way to force a reload of the web application when RPC calls return an exception.

Any ideas on how to implement this?

Hi.

When we modify the code of our GWT application, in particular the classes that travel through GWT calls, these exceptions are generated for many users for a few hours:

com.google.gwt.user.client.rpc.SerializationException: Type '.....' was not assignable to 'com.google.gwt.user.client.rpc.IsSerializable' and did not have a custom field serializer.For security purposes, this type will not be serialized.: instance = .....

We think that this is due to browsers caching the previous (old) code which is no longer aligned with the server code.  We have reviewed all HTTP headers related to caching and all of the are, we think, correctly configured.

So our plan is to force a reload of the browser page with a location.reload(true) when we detect that the SerializationException is being thrown at the server.  Any ideas about how to implement this easily?  Our code if full of AsyncCallback calls and we would like to avoid editing each one of them.  Is there a place where we could insert a client code that would be executed for every RPC call and that will call location.reload(true) if a SerializationException is thrown ?

Thanks!
