This article describes the design choice on how Ektron caches XSLT for it's workspace and it's server controls like the ContentBlock.
If a change is made to an XSLT such as a for the display of a smartform it will not immediately invalidate it and therefore will not reflect the changes.
The issue is that XSLT transforms are heavy calls for the system to process - they utilize heavy caching in order to improve performance of the product. This is by design and not customizeable.
Here are the few options to workaround this choice:
- Recycling the application pool will invalidate the cache.
- Find the returning XML (such as after an AJAX call) and manipulate the response object to HTTP and use the CSS to modify.
- Redesign your control and move away from controls with XSLT.
- Put in a feature request to draw more attention to this option.
