Way late to the party, but was messing around with FW/1 this week and I am having a problem with controllers and real time updates. I have the following code to simulate authentication for now.

application.cfc

public function setupRequest()  { 

    controller("user.checkAuthorization");
 }

user.cfc

function checkAuthorization(any rc) {
    rc.authenticated = true;

}

In my view I toggle certain things based on rc.authenticated. All of this works fine, but if I toggle rc.authenticated from true to false nothing changes on the screen until I reset the app. Then I see the updated changes on the screens.

I'm not sure why changes aren't being made on page without the app re-init. Is this something in FW/1? Something in Lucee? Commandbox etc?

Controllers are cached by the framework so any changes won't be reflected until you reload the cache. You can do this on an ad hoc basis by adding ?reload=true to the URL.

If you are in a dev environment and making frequent changes to controllers you could add some logic to the setupRequest() method in Application.cfc to clear the contoller cache on every request:

public void function setupRequest(){
  if( isDevEnvironment ) // use your own way of determining this
    application[ variables.framework.applicationKey ].cache.controllers = {} // clear the controller cache on every request
}
