We implemented a custom section in backoffice with the help of a bean implementing WidgetComponentRenderer.
<context type="CustomCronJob" component="editor-area" merge-by="type" parent="CronJob">
<editorArea:editorArea name="">
<editorArea:tab name="hmc.tab.companyname" position="1">
<editorArea:section name="hmc.section.catalogInterface">
<editorArea:customPanel colspan="2" name="custom" spring-bean="customBean" />
All works fine. Though the bean is called only when the item is selected. After that BO seems to cache the GUI. How can I control the refresh of the custom section?
