Tomcat 5.23: caching of css files?
Hi,
I have tomcat 5.23 in ubuntu 7.04, if I update the war file and access it
thru domain name, the css file is not updated even i clear everything in my
browser, if I use the IP to access, the new css file is in effect, does
tomcat 5.23 cache those css files? anyway to clear it? Thanks.
A.C.

Did you clear your browser cache ?
If you access the application via different adresses AFAIK the browser
sees identical files as being different due to those different
addresses (FQDN versus IP address).
I had similar problems that dissapeared after I cleared out the browser cache
It's just a thought.

Hi Peter,
following your advice, i set the production server to have the same time
zone as my development machine, the problem goes away! Thanks.

Is that a browser issue? What happens if you force a full refresh of
the page in the browser, or clear the browser's cache and reload?
Is it a file timestamp issue? Do you have clock skew or timezone
differences between your development and production systems, such that
the revised CSS "looks" older than it really is?

Hi Charles,
this is what I did:
1. shut down tomcat
2. delete war and related directory
3. copy new war file
4. start tomcat
with all above, I'm still getting pages styled with old css file, it will go
away after several hours. kind of strange.

I haven't tried it, but you may have to restart the webapp in order to
get the updated .css file loaded; just changing the .war file may not do
that. Did you try restarting the app manually? You could provide the
name of the .css file as a <WatchedResource> to do it automatically.
