XXE document cache has no direct influence on the file being opened by XXE. This looks like the URLConnection cache bug already reported by another customer. We have added a workaround for what seems to be a Java bug. The workaround is found in XXE v5.2, which should be released in a couple of days. Description of the workaround: --- Workaround the following Java bug, which affected XXE when deployed as an applet or using Java Web Start: modifying a document stored on a WebDAV server, closing it and then immediately (that is, without exiting XXE) reopening it, loaded the document in its original state and not in its latest, modified, state. --- > > Exactly why it starts happening is unclear, but once it has started, it > will consistently happen going forward on the affected machine. Please remember that we absolutely need to be able to reproduce a problem here at XMLmind in order to fix it or to add a workaround for it. > > At this point, more than a fix, I need a way of forcibly emptying the > XXE document cache on every launch and before every file > open command. > XXE document cache is not persistent (not stored on disk; only in memory). You can only disable this cache and this is done once for all. In order to make sure that this cache is always disabled, please start XXE with this command-line option (also supported in Java Web Start's xxe.jnlp): -putpref documentCache 0 However, I am not sure that by disabling XXE document cache the problem will completely go away.
