Refreshing the screen after entity update from Rest API is not showing latest data?

Steps to reproduce -

  1. I have updated the entity data using CUBA REST API.
  2. I clicked refresh button in browser, it did refresh but the data in entity viewer is still showing old one. So I closed the entity viewer and opened again - it reflects the new changes.

I think the refresh is not working for entity viewer if it is updated by REST API. Is it a bug or any work around is there?

A quick workaround is to add a refresh button to the UI. Please check below screenshots to add the refresh button. I think that serves the purpose.

  1. When Creating the Generic UI, click on Show advanced properties.

Advanced

  1. Show Advanced Properties > Table Actions > refresh.

enter image description here

  1. Now you can see Refresh button in the web UI, so the user can click refresh button rather than loading the page.

final result

If you mean refreshing the whole page by F5, it doesn't reload your data by the following reason:

  • CUBA generic UI is based on Vaadin, which means it stores the state of all components and data displayed on the page in the web server memory.

  • When you hit F5, your browser just loads this state from the server to the page.

  • In order to reload data from the middleware to the presentation layer, you need to refresh it on the web server, e.g. by reopening the screen.
