Problem with refresh [message #418576]

Hi,

Apologies upfront for posting this is this forum too. I have not had much luck in the platform forum. Please excuse me.

My original thread is:

http://www.javalobby.org/thread.jspa?threadID=109071

Essentially the problem is that refresh on a resource is not working - think there is a functionality of a 'fastRefresh' and its not picking up file modifications done from outside workbench.

Any help/pointers are appreciated.

Thanks
Hemant

Hemant,

If you're getting the old contents of a resource I'm quite sure you are
reading from a different resource that hasn't actually been modified at
all. Check the resource's getLocation value and look at that location
in the file system to confirm what contents really are changed. Eclipse
doesn't cache the old contents anywhere (well, it keeps a history, but
it won't just fetch the contents from the history), so if you are seeing
old contents I'm quite sure you've not actually changed the file you
think you've changed.

Hi,

I am dead sure that I am working on the same resource and that the same is surely getting updated on the filesystem. The weird thing is that if I debug (put just 1 breakpoint) and when that breakpoint hits just run, the problem goes away. So perhaps, the refresh happens or something.

As a nasty workaround for the problem, I created another resource by a unique name every time, copied the contents to this new file using java.util File api. And now everything works fine.

Hemant,

Your comments imply that there might be underlying issues like OS delays
in actually flushing the saved contents to the physical disk. Just as
you appear to be sure that the file really is updated, I'm very sure
that if Eclipse is reading old contents it's pulling them out of the
actual file from the disk and not from somewhere else...
