Syntax

currentChecksum = getCurrentChecksum(adapterObj)

Description

currentChecksum = getCurrentChecksum(adapterObj) returns a marker for identifying the last change to the external source file. The default implementation returns the timestamp for the last modified date of the file. The cache uses this method to determine if the adapter needs to get updates from the external file.

Custom file adapters must define behavior for the getAdapterName, getSupportedExtensions, and getData methods. In addition, you can choose to override the isSourceValid, supportsReading, getSectionNames, getCurrentChecksum, open, and close methods.

Input Arguments
