Well,
layer.refresh({force:true}) wont do because this method is checking
layer visibility
refresh: function(obj) {
if(this.calculateInRange() && this.visibility) {
this.events.triggerEvent("refresh", obj);
}
},
but I think calling trigger read on BBOX strategy should do:
layer.strategies[0].triggerRead()
Cheers
