AUTOREFRESH

If the AUTOREFRESH parameter is set to FALSE, Composite will not force the nodes on the Datamap to be refreshed when the user uses the Save function in the work area.

In scenarion where nodes are 'static', i.e. fetched from an external source, and the posible user actions can not change the layout of the node being edited, disabling autorefresh can seriusly increase responsetimes on the client.

The faster responsetime is due to the nature of the refresh function - a call is made from the client to the server (ultimately the plugin) for each open node. On slow connections or on slow clients this can take several seconds.

The value FALSE must be in uppercase. If this value is omitted or any other value is stated Composite will refresh the Datamap on save.

Example:

<DATA TYPE="Ex" UNIQUEID="1" TITLE="Static title" AUTOREFRESH="FALSE" />
