OK thanks, the docs mention "static resource cache" but I could not find info on what it actually is.

It caches the content of static resources in memory and uses that rather than accessing disk.

I am loading maven jars and /target/classes.

eg:

<PostResources
             base="/home/devuser/git/myproject/tools/META-INF"
className="org.apache.catalina.webresources.DirResourceSet"
             webAppMount="/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF" />

<PostResources
             base="/home/devuser/git/myproject/target/classes"
className="org.apache.catalina.webresources.DirResourceSet"
             webAppMount="/WEB-INF/classes" />

<PostResources
base="/home/devuser/.m2/repository/commons-logging/commons-logging/1.2/commons-logging-1.2.jar"
className="org.apache.catalina.webresources.FileResourceSet"
             webAppMount="/WEB-INF/lib/commons-logging-1.2.jar" />


As its purely for development guess it makes no difference?

I doubt you'll notice if you disable it.

Since you are using JAR files, the caching won't matter once the classes themselves are loaded-into memory. So you may observe some slowness early in the lifetime of the web application after deployment, but at long as your code, etc. isn't trying to re-scan JAR files all the time, etc. then you should be fine.

Hello,

I am using the <Resources> and <PostResources> to run tomcat for debugging my app (and it is pretty awesome).  I am getting the cache warning limit, as it is 10mb, what effect would it have if I turned off the cache ie cachingAllowed="false" rather than having to increase the limit all the time?

This is one of those "it depends" questions. There are lots of factors that will influence how effective the cache is. You could try and reason what the impact would be but you will likely get a more accurate answer, faster by just trying it and measuring the impact.
