[Java] Re: Javascript Question

 

It is the client (the browser) that caches Javascript. This will happen if the javascript is a reference to a javascript file, such as

<script language="JavaScript" src="js/myFile.js"></script>

and not contained within the page's HTML, such as

<script language="JavaScript">
.
.
.
</script>

If the user restarts the browser, it will retrieve the updated javascript file (myFile.js, in this case).

Don't the servers, depending on configuration, cache those scripts or are they reloaded every time? If they are cached, how do the clients get the latest version and not the cached version? Would the cache automatically get replaced when a new version is saved? I'm just trying to get a better understanding of what is happening under the covers, rather than just accepting the once a new version is available the client will execute it, even if that statement is true.
