http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31556 getResourceAsStream caches a file but fails to note that it has been updated Summary: getResourceAsStream caches a file but fails to note that it has been updated Product: Tomcat 5 Version: 5.0.28 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows 9x Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1. The sample servlet (see below) calls getResourceAsStream to read the first line of a text file (eg, "abc") and outputs it. 2. I update the text file to change its content (eg, "def"). 3. Reload the web page but it is still displaying the old file content ("abc"). It means the servlet is not getting the new file content. 4. However, there is a twist. If I save the file again (eg, add a space, delete the space and save again) and reload the web page, then it will display the new file content ("def"). The sample servlet is shown below. The text file is /WEB-INF/test.txt. import java.io.*; import javax.servlet.*; import javax.servlet.http.*; public class HelloServlet extends HttpServlet { protected void doGet( HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { PrintWriter writer = response.getWriter(); BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( getServletContext().getResourceAsStream( "/WEB-INF/test.txt"))); try { writer.println(reader.readLine()); } finally { reader.close(); } } } --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
