Hi Wesw,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I meant to say testChain(). Thanks for that.
So, how is the old data being retained. Does it take it from the http
request and recreates the new instance?
If that is the case, what other options do I have to get the changed data
into the chained method?
Thanks
Satya
