RE: Templates not refreshing
OK, I tried what was suggested below, but now I seem to have the
opposite problem. No matter how I have the caching paremeters set, it
always picks up changes immediately. Is there something about this I
need to know that's not in the documentation?
Thanks,
Dhruva

Re: Templates not refreshing
Posted by Nathan Bubna <na...@esha.com>.
the webapp loader does not currently support modification checks due to the
weakness/lightness of the Servlet API in the area. the canonical use is to
turn caching off during development and back on during production. if you
truly need modification checking to work, chances are that you are in a
situation where you can use the FileResourceLoader.
