Howdy,
The cachingAllowed property defaults to true. It means the context can
cache resources, e.g. when you do ServletContext#getResource("/x") it
can cache the result in a Map whose key is "/x" and whose value is the
URL you get from the getResource call. (This caching implementation is
not exactly what's actually done, I simplified it for illustration
purposes).
This speeds up future resource lookups at the expense of if you change
"/x" and cachingAllowed is true you won't pick up the modified version
of "/x". So this can be viewed as a production versus development kind
of setting.
In the future, feel free to look at the source code:
