Wildfly caches content in exploded mode, breaking developer productivity ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: WFLY-2391 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-2391 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Bug Components: Web (Undertow) Affects Versions: 8.0.0.Beta1 Environment: MacOSX with JBossTools 4.1.1.Beta1 Reporter: Xavier Coulon Assignee: Stuart Douglas Priority: Critical Fix For: 8.0.0.CR1 Attachments: jboss-as-kitchensink-html5-mobile.war.zip While I was building a sample application with JBoss Tools 4.1.1.beta1 on WildFly 8.0.Beta1, I noticed that after a few minutes (or a few browser requests), the content of my index.html file seemed to be cached by the server, although I used the "exploded content" deployment mode (since I published the content using the WildFly Server Adapter in JBoss Tools). I checked the actual content of the index.html in the deployments folder and it contained the latest changes, which means that the JBoss Tools Server Adapter is doing its job well ;-) I also tried to edit the index.html file directly in the deployments folder, and once again, I got no update in both Chrome and Firefox browsers. I checked in the "Network" tab of the browsers and could see that the server response for the index.html page had a "200 OK" status, which means that there's no browser caching involved. I tried to get the index.html page with cUrl and got the same old version, which definitely excludes a browser caching issue. At the end of the dat, this means that after a few changes, my browsers keep getting an old version of the deployed resources, which in turns means that I have to stop and restart the server to get the new content, and this is pretty bad in term of dev productivity.
