can i specify the filename when compiling ?

[wahaha]

there are 3 files after GWT's compiling:
hosted.html
moduleName.nocache.js
randomName.cache.html

i want to ask that can we specify the name of "randomName.cache.html" as we like ?

It's only safe for the browser to cache the file *because* it's got a name that changes every time something changes. Setting the name to something fixed would defeat this.

I don't think so. Maybe its possible with a custom linker. But I wouldn't recommend it. You need some random aspect in the file name because when you release a new version of your webapp the browser has to download the new randomName.cache.html. If "randomName" isn't random be some mean between app versions then the browser would use the outdated cached version.

actually i need this.
my program is not a B-S mode program,i don't need to worry about the problem for cache.
i just need to specify the file name when compiling,so the update patch can be smaller cause of  the content of the file "moduleName.nocache.js" keep the same.
