Where are the Embedded Tomcat configuration files for spring-boot-starter-web? I want to set autoDeploy="true" to make the Embedded Tomcat hot deploy changes to my html files.

An embedded container has no notion of an autoDeploy (that's a container feature that applies to deployed war files). If you just want to reload static resources at dev time, the docs are here: http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#howto-hotswapping

Hi Dave, Our spring-boot app (web) consumes static contents (.html, .jsp, images, .css etc.) that is a mounted path from an external. We noticed that our spring-boot app reflects ONLY when there is a NEW jsp file or other static files dropping in that mounted directory, we can see the change from browser. However, if a static file is UPDATED, browser does not reflect until we restart the app. Besides using
spring-boot-devtools for PROD, is there a way to configure it without restarting? We use embedded tomcat, configured server.tomcat.context.preresources.base=/external/contents/ Thanks!

Did you try
spring.resources.static-locations=file:///path/to/external/contents? (I don't think server.tomcat.context.preresources.base does anything at all in a vanilla Spring Boot app. Maybe you tweaked it?)fongfong
Thank you for your reply! Let me try that.
spring.resources.static-locations=file:///path/to/external/contents
