Property that allows the caching of static resources of a GeneXus Web application. This allows that when a user enters a GeneXus application, resources are loaded once and will not be reloaded again.
- Significant improvement in performance, especially in cases where objects have multiple resouces (many images, javascript files, css, etc).
- Reducing HTTP traffic.
Static resources are:
- Images (gif, png, bmp, jpg, jpeg, etc).
- Javascript files (js).
- Style Sheets (CSS).
Value in hours.
Default Value = 36 hours
For situations where a file (eg gxgral.js, messages.eng.js, gxcfg.js, etc.) has been updated manually and want to force the clients to re-download the resource, you can enter and edit web.config or gxcfg.config value "GX_BUILD_NUMBER" by a higher number. With this, the next time you visit a Web page, the browser will force the download of these resources previously cached.
