    skin cached - changes to skin file don't affect output

    pbaker01

      I have a strange problem with the skin properties file. I have created a skin file and it worked fine when first loaded. However, subsequent changes to the skin properties don't affect the output.

      It works fine when I change the skin properties file name and reload it. It appears as if the skin is cached somewhere. Where?

      Scenario:

      1) Load new skin file - works!
      2) Change skin file name and then reload app - does not work
      3) Change skin properties file name and reload - works!

      Umm! Any suggestions will be appreciated..
