Just to confirm that there's no long-term caching, I extended the above by starting Tomcat, loaded the home page in Firefox, replaced tomcat.gif by one of Bill the Cat with the name tomcat.gif, refreshed the page with F5, and got the revised, much uglier image in the upper left corner.

I have this working now. I removed the locking attributes from the
context as explained in the other thread.
Thanks to all those who took the time to reply, it's much appreciated.

Correct; as stated, both Hassan and I are using stock Tomcat 6.0.20 downloads.
If the external webapp approach I suggested is used, the antiResourceLocking attribute should be set to false for that <Context>.

Oh, good: some /real/ information as to the cause. I suspect that Hassan
and Chuck are nto using anti-resource-locking while Lyallex is.
I've never had this problem myself because I don't try to generate
static content dynamically :)

This all all a expected side-effect of using the anti resource locking
features.

Both Hassan and I were using a stock Tomcat 6.0.20 (mine was on Vista 64). Try it with a 6.0.20 clean installation, and then compare configs between your 6.0.16 and 6.0.20 versions to see what you've changed that is preventing the normal behavior.

OK, all very nice ... I just tried this. The server was running and my
application was up and working.
I copied an image into the ROOT directory then tried to access it like
so http://localhost/main.jpg and got a 404 not found.
I stopped and restarted the server (very important this) and tried the
same request again and the image loaded.
I'm not imagining this. It is a fact. On my setup (tomcat 6.0.16.
jdk1.6.0_03, Windows XP SP 2) I cannot load images that have been
written to disk after the server starts ... sorry if this offends you
in some way, it's driving ME nuts especially as you all seem to have
no trouble with this. I'm almost tempted to load the app onto the live
server and see if it works there. .. no, that way lies madness.
