Description

Our skinning editor deploys a jar with the user's custom skin. The user adds this jar to the classpath, and the user views the page in design time mode. The user goes back to the skinning editor, changes the custom skin, redeploys the jar, but does not see the changes in the design time mode without restarting the server.

The fix is to call setUseCaches(false) when in design time mode:
// prevent caching during DT where the source may change...
if (Beans.isDesignTime())

{ connection.setUseCaches(false); }
