Method Detail

getUpdateSequence

public java.lang.String getUpdateSequence()

The optional UPDATESEQUENCE parameter is for maintaining cache consistency. Its value can be an integer, a timestamp in [ISO 8601:1988(E)] format, or any other number or string. The server may include an UpdateSequence value in its Capabilities XML. If present, this value should be increased when changes are made to the Capabilities (e.g., when new maps are added to the service). The server is the sole judge of lexical ordering sequence. The client may include this parameter in its GetCapabilities request.
