Hi. I have a tomcat - struts web application.
I have a thread which creates a static datafile each night. when the user accesses the corresponding .do action, that action reads the static file and presents formatted output. if the file isn't there for whatever reason, it creates it dynamically and then presents the formatted output (still by reading the file it just created). My problem is that the nightly re-creation works fine, i can see changes in the file, and the mod time of the file is updated. but Tomcat is evidently caching the old contents because the old content is still presented to the user. But if i remove the static file and thus force the action to re-create it, the new data is presented to the user. things also work if i manually edit the file (say with vi) and save it, the user again gets updated information. but if the thread creates the data, the action never sees it. Also, both the thread and the action call the same method when generating the static data. any ideas? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/tomcat-caching-of-static-files-tp29356390p29356390.html Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
