I'm looking for ideas on how other people are doing versioning in Javascript files. I'm hitting issues if I change my files in an incompatible way, or I upgrade files.
For example, if I upgrade from DOJO 1.5 to DOJO 1.6, the user's browsers are not always refreshing the DOJO files, and things don't work. Similarly, if I update a javascript function to take additional arguments, then the browser using the old version throws an error. I've spent a lot of time in the past few days telling users to click on the refresh button of their browser and I'm pretty sick of it. I've thought of versioning my whole "scripts" directory. IOW, if my app version is 3.4.9, make the scripts directory scripts-3.4.9 to force the browser to get files from the new location. This is kind of a pain for version control reasons but otherwise it's OK. I'm really looking for ideas on how other web developers are handling this problem. -- George Sexton MH Software, Inc. 303 438-9585 www.mhsoftware.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
