Hi, I'm experiencing troubles with updating CSS/JS resources in META-INF/resources during development. My application is a multi module Maven project. Some of the 'jar' modules (i.e. the ones that are packed in WEB-INF/lib/**) have META-INF/resources with some CSS/JS files inside.
Deploying the project in Tomcat 7.0.37 in the IDE (Intellij IDEA) as "exploded-war" allows me to edit my .java files and the resources which end in the context root (in Maven terminology - src/main/webapp) then do "update classes and resources" in the IDE and I can see my changes in the browser. Unfortunately this doesn't work for META-INF/resources (Servlet 3.0) because it seems Tomcat very aggressively caches these resources. I've stepped with the debugger thru various **DirContext implementations and I see that the lastModificationTime is cached in JNDI Attributes and the file content itself in org.apache.naming.resources.Resource#binaryContent. Am I correct to assume that there is no way to archive the short development cycle with META-INF/resources ? Thanks Martin
