Has the underlying flow model changed since it was last accessed via a call to FlowModelHolder.getFlowModel().

Specified by:

hasFlowModelChanged in interface FlowModelHolder

Returns:

true if yes, false if not

refresh

public void refresh()

Description copied from interface: FlowModelHolder

Refresh the flow model held by this holder. Calling this method typically triggers flow re-assembly, which may include a refresh from an externalized resource such as a file.
