• They\'re accessi

Answer 1

The solution seems to be remove antiResourceLocking="true".

If anyone's more knowledgable about the topic, or know how to workaround it other way, I'll be grateful.

Answer 2

Finally the solution is to replace %TOMCATDIR%/conf/context.xml file content within :

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<Context cachingAllowed="false" cacheMaxSize="1" cacheTTL="1">
    <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
</Context>

Answer 3

Tomcat 8 - disable caching of static resources:

context.xml

     <Resources cachingAllowed="false"/>
