Hello all !

In my site, a user is being saved in the asp.net Session object. And so, in my master template I decide whether to show the login or logout buttons based on the existence of an object in the Session. This works fine.

Now, for a logged in user, I have JS script that runs every 10 seconds to call a base method and get a JSON response object with some user specific details. (This is used to update a span element with that data).

It all works fine when it works ... It seems that every time the App_Data/TEMP folder is being touched (by me or by the umbraco engine after changing some code somewhere) it makes the umbraco engine to retrieve a CACHED version of a JSON response object, so that a JS timered request doesn't truly get to my code, and so I end up with corrupted data being returned to the JS.

As you can see in my Base code, I first check if the user is connected. The user IS connected, and I still get a "Success=false". The IsUserConnected function works well, no problem there.

How I manage to determine the data returned from the Base is not good and cached is with examining the response and seeing that the JSON object doesn't hold a newly added dummy field. Moreover, I've debugged the project and didn't stopped at the breakpoint defined at the GetPlayersBalace() first line of code.

Does anyone encountered with this behavior ? What else can I do to fix that ?

Base code:

[RestExtension("AccountingAPI")]
public class AccountingAPI : BaseRest
{
    [RestExtensionMethod(ReturnXml = false, AllowAll = true)]
    public static string GetPlayersBalace()
    {
        if (!IsUserConnected)
        {
            return BpSysTools.JS_WrapJSON(new
            {
                Success = false,
                CurrencySymbol = string.Empty,
                Balance = -1,
                ErrorMessage = GetDictionaryItem("Noty_NotLoggedIn")
            });
        }

        // Get the user's balance and return a JSON object with Success=true with the data
        // (or false with the appropriate error message)
    }
}

My JS script:

$(document).ready(function () {
     updateBalanceLoop();
});

function updateBalanceLoop() {
    var spanCurrentUsername = $('#spanCurrentUsername');
    var spanCurrentCurrencySymbol = $('#spanCurrentCurrencySymbol');
    var spanCurrentBalance = $('#spanCurrentBalance');

    $.ajax({
        url: "/Base/AccountingAPI/GetPlayersBalace",
        cache: false,
        dataType: 'json',
        success: function (response) {
            if (response.Success) {
                spanCurrentUsername.html(response.Username);
                spanCurrentCurrencySymbol.html(response.CurrencySymbol);
                spanCurrentBalance.html(response.Balance);

                setTimeout(updateBalanceLoop, 10000);
            }
            else {
                // notify the user
            }
        }
    });
}
