SVG Image not reloaded

[Felmey, Jonathan]

I have recently taken over a project that is already using Batik within a Java Applet, so I am by no means an expert on batik.  The problem I have is that the SVG document doesn’t seem to get updated on the screen until I run my mouse over the areas where there are mouseover events.  The document basically gets updated based on data that is being interpreted by the java code in the background.  The documented is updated when new data is found.  But I don’t see the updates unless I mouseover that particular part of the document.  Also I have changed the static parts of the document in a text editor and those parts are still showing up as if I never made a change.  It’s as if the document is being cached.  Is there a way using batik to ensure the document is reloaded each time it is displayed?  Any ideas as to what my problems might be?   Thanks in advance.
