Just to add to what Richard said, you'll also want to put spring.thymeleaf.cache: false
in your cas.properties so that you can edit the files and see the changes "immediately" without having to bounce Tomcat. Note that it seems to only refresh every 60 seconds though; so my usual approach was to save the files you've changed, run "date" and see what time it is, and then wait until the seconds reach ":00" before refreshing the browser. Annoying, but still a lot faster than rebuilding/redeploying. Once you've changed everything, copy the files back into your maven repo, take the cache line from about out of cas.properties, rebuild and redeploy. -- DAVID A.
