Thank you Peter. After adding gwt-cache-filter it works now. I am wondering why this was never a part of the mgwt appcache solution. The gwt-cache-filter project page had the nice side-effect for me that I got the hint to use/inherit com.google.gwt.precompress.Precompress. My application is now 2/3 smaller than before.
But I have an other problem which is from the same type but I don't have the deep understanding how gwt-cache-filter works: As mentioned before, I have the same issue with an other file, a html-file. Background: I have a html-file which is loaded on runtime inside a iframe-view in my application. The html-file changes from time to time if a customer opens it in tomcat folder with an html-editor and changes something. The html-file is defined in the manifest file in gwt.xml with mgwt. e.g.: <extend-configuration-property name="html5manifestlinker_files" value= "./ClientData/Infos_de.html" /> I have the same behavior with this file as with the nocache.js file: After compilation I must change everything in the content of this file (e.g. adding a carriage return at the begin of the file) to get the update on client if the html-file was loaded on client and is changed later by the hand of customer. How can I fix this, without manually (or writing a deploy mechanism) changing the content of the file before deploying it? Should I go away from the mgwt linker and use the gwt-appcache instead?
