Website downloading old file
Puzzled.
I have a Tomcat 5 application, associated with it a file that can be
downloaded from the website, which is in the root directory of the
context. (So if the context is called myapp the file is in myapp).
Everything was fine but then I realised that there was a problem with
the file so I ftped a new file to replace it.
But when I try to download the file from the website it still refers to
the earlier (larger) file.
This still happens even though I have:
shutdown tomcat,
restarted tomcat,
deleted tomcat work directory,
clerared out my browser cache
used a different browser.
It even still allows the file downloads if I delete the file from the
server, how can this be ?

What is going on ?
I moved the file to a new filename and edited the jsp to point to the
renamed file. Tried to download it and it downloaded as the correct size.
I then mnoved it back to the oldfilename and changed the jsp back to
point to original filename and once again it downloads the old larger
file which no longer exists !

Size is also a consideration. Were the two files the same size? Was test1
smaller?
With ISP proxies, it is a crap shot at how they have them configured.
Test theory:
Upload three files. One smaller, one same size and one large than file.bin.
Download each.
Change each.
Redownload each and check for changes.
Note: You may wish to repeat this test in the event the ISP proxy expires
the cached item while you are testing. This may also be what happened to the
test file. Some systems flush the cache at an interval and some do it on
file age.

it, edited and tried it again and it downloaded the new one correctly as

Re: Website downloading old file
Posted by Ben Souther <bs...@fwdco.com>.
Now, for kicks, try with a file with an '.asp' extension.
Your ISP's proxy server may have a list of extensions that don't get
cached. This would explain why your dynamic JSPs are working but the
static files are being cached.

Re: Website downloading old file
Posted by Paul Taylor <pa...@fastmail.fm>.
OK I think you are onto something here,
the original file was called file.bin, new file replacing it also called
file.bin and renamed to file2.bin
When I use the ?var=bogus the correct file is returned, but when I don't
specify a parameter for file.bin it still returns the older file.
http://domain/context/file.bin INCORRECT OLD
VERSION
http://domain/context/file.bin?var=bogus OKNEW VERSION
http://domain/context/file2.bin?var=bogus OK NEW VERSION

Can you expand on this please, btw if I change any part of the web
application itself such as a jsp the results are imediate.
Two ther bits of info which maybe relevent.
1. The host is based in Canada and hence has time set to Candian time
which is earlier than UK time where Im downloading to.
2. The file Im trying to download is a .bin (Linux) file.
The problem is also happening on Internet Explorer.

Sounds like your ISP may have a proxy setup. Usually two different browsers
don't know about each other.

I think it is a browser problem because I got a friend to download from

Also, in the interest of not overlooking the obvious...
Did you verify that the FTP write actually worked and that you didn't
accidentally ADD another file with a slightly different name?

File permissions may be part of your problem.
What OS is Tomcat running on?
As for the showing the file after deleting it from the server, did you do a
restart of Tomcat after deleting the file? I remember something on the list
