Mark Struberg commented on MYFACES-3545:
----------------------------------------

Martin, if you are using tomcat, can you please try the following:

create a file META-INF/context.xml and add the following content:

{code}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context antiJARLocking="true" />
{code}

This helped us a lot.

> this is a classic one:
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRINIDAD-73
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1982
> From http://www.mail-archive.com/wicket-user@lists.sourceforge.net/msg20937.html:
> " .... It's a bug in Sun's JarURLConnection. The workaround should solve the problems even in 
> development mode.
> When you open an URL connection to an entry in a jar, you get a
> JarURLConnection. The JarURLConnection in the package
> sun.net.www.protocol.jar has an internal field
>     /* the url connection for the JAR file */
>     private URLConnection jarFileURLConnection;
> which you cannot access in any way. When you ask for the last modified
> time, the JarURLConnection will ask for the header field
> "last-modified", which in turn will ask the jarFileURLConnection for the
> that header field, which in turn will cause the initializeHeaders() call
> in FileURLConnection, which in turn calls connect() and opens the file
> (even though for the last modified header that is quite unnecessary).
> The way to close the file is to call getInputStream().close() on the
> jarFileURLConnection field, but unfortunately you can't since it is hidden.
> There is a very simple workaround though. In code:
>             URL url = new URL("jar:file:jarfile.jar!Entry.class");
>             URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
>             if (connection instanceof JarURLConnection) {
>                 JarURLConnection jarUrlConnection = (JarURLConnection)
> connection;
>                 URL jarFileUrl = jarUrlConnection.getJarFileURL();
>                 URLConnection jarFileConnection =
> jarFileUrl.openConnection();
>                 long lastModified = jarFileConnection.getLastModified();
>                 jarFileConnection.getInputStream().close();
>                 System.out.println("last modified=" + new
> Date(lastModified));
>             }
> ... "
> This little hack is not done in myfaces DefaultFaceletFactory and FaceletCacheImpl.
> Simple workaround is:  javax.faces.FACELETS_REFRESH_PERIOD=0 in Development stage
