iOS: NSURLRequest returns the same page each time on different storyboards - objective-c

Question

I have a UIWebView class that is added to each storyboard on load, but when passing into this class the page I require form the parent ViewController it only show the file from the first ever page and on each different page/viewController its the same even though I set it different on each.
Is it somehow caching this page and if so, how can I have a clean UIWebview everytime?
my UIwebview class m file (ContentView.m):
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame {
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
if (self) {
NSString *urlpath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:pageToDisplay ofType:#"html" inDirectory:#"pageContent"];
NSURL *url=[[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath:urlpath];
NSURLRequest *request=[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[self loadRequest:request];
}
return self;
}
My Parent view passes the requested page using the following variable pageToDisplay:
Parent View m file:
#import "ContentView.h"
- (void)viewDidLoad {
ContentView *dispalyPageContent = [[ContentView alloc] init];
[dispalyPageContent setPageToDisplay:#"THEpg1"];
[self.view addSubview:dispalyPageContent];
//--
[super viewDidLoad];
}
For each other parent view the code is the same but the [displayPageContent setPageToDisplay:#"THEpg1"]; which should change the page I want, e.g. next view would be [displayPageContent setPageToDisplay:#"THEpg2"];
Is it possible to clear this and load a fresh request each time?

It's because when you call ContentView *dispalyPageContent = [[ContentView alloc] init]; in your viewDidLoad , you init it with:
NSString *urlpath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:pageToDisplay ofType:#"html" inDirectory:#"pageContent"];
And in pathForResource:pageToDisplay at the moment of initializing is some trash.
And then, when you call [dispalyPageContent setPageToDisplay:#"smth"] , it changes nothing, because your class ContentView has been already inited with some trash in PageToDisplay
(Also, you call [[ContentView alloc] init]; and in your code there is only initWithFrame:... for objects of ContentView class)
You can solve this in this way:
1) in your ContentView.m
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame pageToDisp:(NSString *)pageToDisp {
self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
if (self) {
NSString *urlpath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:pageToDisp ofType:#"html" inDirectory:#"pageContent"];
NSURL *url=[[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath:urlpath];
NSURLRequest *request=[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[self loadRequest:request];
}
return self;
}
2) In your ContentView.h:
- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame pageToDisp:(NSString *)pageToDisp
3) And then, in viewDidLoad:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
ContentView *dispalyPageContent = [[ContentView alloc] initWithFrame:someFrame pageToDisp:#"THEpg1"];
[self.view addSubview:dispalyPageContent];
//--
[super viewDidLoad];
}
