Timestamp of files

[didi1976]

Hello,

I use JBoss 3.x with Jetty. I deployed an EAR containing also the WAR. The WAR contains an application client, which is distributed using WebStart.

When I restart JBoss, it seems that the files on the server have changed and are downloaded again but I did not deploy any new files or change any of the existing.

How can I prevent that behavoiur?

Thanks in advance,
Didi

I have made some further tests. It looks like it generates a date near the start of JBoss and does not use the information contained within the WAR.

It can be reproduced by writing a small java app which does the following:

URL url = new URL("http://127.0.0.1:8080/yourapp/yourFile.html");
URLConnection con = url.openConnection();
System.out.println(con.getContentLength());
System.out.println(con.getLastModified());

A closer look at the modification date shows that it is not the date from the WAR. If you restart JBoss and execute the app again, you get a new modification date.

The solution to my problem was to switch to Tomcat.

Jetty produces the (for my opinion) wrong result. Is this behaviour desired?
