Feature service does not update after feature is deleted/attributes updated

JakeSkinner

I am using Flex 2.2 and I'm having an issue where a feature service in the web application will not update after a delete or attribute change has occurred.  If a feature is added, the feature service will update correctly in the web application.

For example, I open a flex app with a feature service.  I have the same feature service being consumed on my mobile device using ArcGIS Mobile.  I'll collect a feature using ArcGIS Mobile and then post the edit back to database.  Next I pan/zoom around the flex app and the feature service updates dynamically and I can see the feature.

However, if I delete a feature or update attributes of an existing feature using ArcGIS Mobile, post changes back to database, and then pan/zoom around the changes are not reflected.  I have to refresh the entire flex app.  After doing so the changes are reflected.

The same happens no matter which client I'm using to update the service.  For example if I make a delete/update to the feature class in ArcMap I have to refresh the flex app.

I tried setting 'mode' equal to 'onDemand' in the config file, but this did not make a difference.

Has anyone experienced this? 

Thanks!

The application does not know that the data behind the feature layer has been updated.  You can refresh it (too re-grab the data) by using the refresh method:
