Please note: never ever it has been so important to check for clearing the browser cache than with this update. - If pages are not reachable "suddenly", refresh you cache.

@browser cache: with then next update the user will get some warning message if the browser version is not the same as the server version. This of course had advantages (obviously...) but also little disadvantages (spontanous replacement of .js code for test/whatever reason) - but the advantages clearly are the important ones...

...a little bug is part of 20180326: if a scroll pane has a height of "" (not defined) then the height is calculated a little bit too high. So nothing serious at all, but maybe you stumble over this. - Bug is corrected with next version.

Hi Björn

Some of our users have had the cache problem with version 20180312.

Have you thought about forcing cache refresh silently directly without user message?
Some user may not understand what means "please empty the cache".

May be by including the version name in the JavaScript file name?

Hi Daniel,

CaptainCasa's web.xml by default contains a commented example to do so:

Code:

   <!-- 
       Optional: filter for setting no-cache/no-store in response header
       <filter>
         <filter-name>org.eclnt.jsfserver.util.NoCacheNoStoreFilter</filter-name>
         <filter-class>org.eclnt.jsfserver.util.NoCacheNoStoreFilter</filter-class>
       </filter>
   -->
 
   <!-- 
       <filter-mapping>
         <filter-name>org.eclnt.jsfserver.util.NoCacheNoStoreFilter</filter-name>
         <url-pattern>*.js</url-pattern>
       </filter-mapping>
       <filter-mapping>
         <filter-name>org.eclnt.jsfserver.util.NoCacheNoStoreFilter</filter-name>
         <url-pattern>*.css</url-pattern>
       </filter-mapping>
   -->

This filter flags the corresponding files in a way that the browser does not cache them, but always reads them from the server.

Because it's simple, what happens internally, I also attach the Java code of this filter:

Code:

 package org.eclnt.jsfserver.util;
 
 import java.io.IOException;
 
 import javax.servlet.Filter;
 import javax.servlet.FilterChain;
 import javax.servlet.FilterConfig;
 import javax.servlet.ServletException;
 import javax.servlet.ServletRequest;
 import javax.servlet.ServletResponse;
 import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
 import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
 import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponseWrapper;
 
 /**
  * Filter to compress content exchanged via http protocol.
  */
 public class NoCacheNoStoreFilter
     implements Filter
 {
     // ------------------------------------------------------------------------
     // inner classes
     // ------------------------------------------------------------------------
     
     class MyResponseWrapper extends HttpServletResponseWrapper 
     {
         public MyResponseWrapper(HttpServletResponse response) {
             super(response);
         }
 
         @Override
         public void setContentType(String contentType) 
         {
             super.setHeader("Expires", "-1");
             super.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-store, no-cache");
             super.setContentType(contentType);
         }
     }
 
     public void doFilter(ServletRequest servletrequest, 
                          ServletResponse servletresponse, 
                          FilterChain filterchain)
         throws IOException, ServletException
     {
         if(servletrequest instanceof HttpServletRequest)
         {
             HttpServletRequest httpservletrequest = (HttpServletRequest)servletrequest;
             HttpServletResponse httpservletresponse = (HttpServletResponse)servletresponse;
             MyResponseWrapper responsewrapper = new MyResponseWrapper(httpservletresponse);
             filterchain.doFilter(servletrequest, responsewrapper);
         }
         else
         {
             filterchain.doFilter(servletrequest,servletresponse);
         }
     }
 
     public void init(FilterConfig filterconfig)
     {
     }
 
     public void destroy()
     {
     }
 }
