I have similar problem to what Eggsy has described, whereby in order to view the most recent changes it becomes necessary to clear the browser cache. Unfortunately, apart from a couple of minor JSP pages, most of our system is built entirely using GWT.
Is there some approach within the GWT code, where you can detect a version or timestamp which can be used a reference for how upto date a web app is? I mean I'm looking at perhaps doing this with periodic RPC calls to the server to check if the web app is upto date and in the case it is not forcing the browser to refresh (is this even possible??). I dont like this rather crude approach and would prefer something which can be left to the app server or apache.
