ServiceStack selfhosting disable caching for memory

Question

Using Selfhosting standard ServiceStack MVC Application every request get cached in the memory. Changing any js file have no conscience until i restart the server. Is there any way around this problem for developing purposes?

Answer 1

Every request does not get cached in memory, when you're self-hosting it's running the binary dlls and static files that are copied into your /bin folder.

You can change Config.WebHostPhysicalPath to change ServiceStack to serve files from your solution folder instead, e.g:

SetConfig(new HostConfig {
#if DEBUG
    DebugMode = true,
    WebHostPhysicalPath = Path.GetFullPath(Path.Combine("~".MapServerPath(), "..", "..")),
#endif
});
