--------------------------------------------

Hi,

Thanks for the tip, I had not thought of that yet (nor realized that the putInCache method was intended for overriding).

However, I still would prefer that wicket would do this automatically in development mode because:

1) wicket already seems to go to some length to clear the cache when in development mode (watching resources for modification), but currently fails to notice new resources being added; so currently it seems inconsistent (I have to restart the application (sometimes) after I add a properties file, but not after I edit an existing one).

2) In development mode the strategy seems to always show the most up to date  version, currently the localizer does not adhere to this strategy...

3) It feels "buggy" the way it is now, sometimes the localized strings get updated, sometimes they don't, and it took me a while to figure out what the underlying reason was.

4) I think it would help other developers as well, rather than me personally overriding the Localizer's putIntoCache to check for devel mode and become a null operation. It is not a trivial thing to come up with (requires some knowledge of wicket internals) and personally I think it would be useful (and more consistent, see also point 2 above) if Wicket defaulted to not caching in development mode.


Regards,
Sebastiaan

> I was wondering if I could somehow turn off caching of the localizer in development mode (from the current source it doesn't look like it).
> The reason I ask is because now the cache is only flushed if a resource that is being watched is changed. However:
> * if you add a new properties file for a page or component after you already rendered the page once the cache is not cleared and it keeps finding the key=null entry in the cache.
> * if you add your own database string resource loader, the cache is never flushed at all.
> I know I can add a link to flush the localizer cache if and only if we're in development mode, but I think a Settings options could be nice to just turn off caching (my laptop is fast enough, I really don't care if it tries to resolve all the labels all the time).
