Static assets 404 not found, despite being in correct location on file system

I have a project deployed to Tomcat. On my page on the site, I'm getting 404 Not Found for some CSS and PNG files. I do see the files in the correct location on the file system, for example:

/opt/hippo/<myproject>/bootstrap/webfiles/src/main/resources/site/images

I have done mvn clean verify, and build the tar with mvn -Pdist. If I explode the war files and bootstrap jar file, I do see the files. But yet they are not showing when I deploy the wars to Tomcat. Does anyone have any ideas why? Or is there somewhere I can debug for this? hippo-site and hippo-cms log files are basically clean, so no help there.

Here is an example of a link that gives 404:

http://www.mysite.com/site/webfiles/1472069855711/images/my_big_logo.png

Some css files do load, and others do not, I have confirmed the files exist on the file system.

I upaded hst-whitelist.txt, and ran the mvn commands to build the war files, I extracted the Jar file and verified the hst-whitelist is correct. Is something cached somewhere? Do I need to increment the version everytime I change webfiles?

Probably you need to set reloadonstartup=true with a version number. See below:

And with the system property repo.bootstrap=true when starting up the tomcat:

Ok it's working now. I did have reloadonstartup, but the version was still the default 0.1.0-SNAPSHOT, what I had to do was change the version in the poms to something else (I did 0.1.1), and then the static assets showed up. It seems like even though I changed the hst-whitelist and built the war, since the version did not change maybe the old version was still cached in the maven repo. Thanks!

The version of initialize item in hippoecm-extension.xml should be increased if it's to be reloaded in a new deployment. It doesn't matter whether or not the version is the same as your project version number. From project management perspective, it could make more sense to match the versions though.

However, in that case, I prefer following common release process: a) create a release branch (with version 0.1.1) from the develop branch (0.1.0-SNAPSHOT) for instance, b) cut a release from the release branch (0.1.1) and deploy it even during the sprint, and c) after production deployment later (e.g., 0.1.N), merge the release branch to master branch.

So, whenever deploying a project version whether or not production release or sprint release, it always bumps up the version of the project as well as the initialize-item version. This way, it should be more consistent and easy to trace problems, IMHO.

Woonsan
