Did you guys using scooter's jetty? I don't remember having such problem in my last scooter project as scooter's jetty automatically load css from webapps

[Ashish]

Yohanes,
Thanks for the answer . can you tell me the steps , how can i use jetty ?

I didn't configured anything for jetty, I'm using simple run server command > java -jar tools/server.jar <appname>

hey yohanes,
checkout the log and acording to that i think Jetty is already running for the port:8080 ...  I don't know why the css is not loading ....
:(

Ashish,

I can't repeat what you found in Scooter 1.3.

Here is what I did. I tested with the HelloWorld example:
1. Copy scooter\examples\greeting directory to scooter\webapps\.
2. From Terminal (DOS) window, type scooter>java -jar tools/server.jar greeting
3. From browser, enter URL: http://localhost:8080/greeting/welcome/sayit and see JSP page loaded.
4. Open file scooter\webapps\greeting\static\stylesheets\main.css
5. Change first line from
body { background-color: white; }
to
body { background-color: red; }
6. Refresh browser. Now the background of screen is changed to red color without restarting server.

Hope this helps.

yeah,that sample app is works like a charm ..

For a test,I've created testapp and follows your instruction, but the problem is same ...
can you please do a test ? please find the attachment .

This is because by default, newly created apps use cache. 

So in your web.xml file, you can take out the whole "WebPageCachingFilter" section or indicate that you do not want to cache css style sheet:

  <filter>

    <filter-name>WebPageCachingFilter</filter-name>

    <filter-class>com.scooterframework.web.controller.WebPageCachingFilter</filter-class>

    <init-param>

      <param-name>cacheName</param-name>

      <param-value>WebPageCachingFilter</param-value>

    </init-param>

    <init-param>

      <param-name>uncacheablePaths</param-name>

      <param-value>/about, /static/stylesheets/main.css</param-value>

    </init-param>

  </filter>

The above code tells Scooter that accessing to /about web page (about.jsp) and accessing to main.css should not be cached. 

Please notice that the correct param name is "uncacheablePaths".
