I have a property x type int with value 1

The following piece of dtml code:

<dtml-var x>, <dtml-call "manage_changeProperties(x=2)"> <dtml-var x>, <dtml-var "this().getProperty('x')">

prints

1,1,2

I wonder why it doesn't print 1,2,2 Why is the new property value not reflected in the dtml-var?

anyone any idea's?

Hmm.. IIRC, dtml-var caches retrieved named objects. The first time it actually looks up x, the next invocation on a page it will reuse that value. This only within one call to a page, the next time the page is called, x is retrieved once again.
