I'm working with a GWT project and I have a library (jar) where there are several static resources in META-INF/resources folder which should be served.

It works well when I deploy the application in Tomcat, but when I try to run it with SuperDevMode, it means with the embedded Jetty which comes with GWT, the resources aren't loaded well, I'm getting this intermittent error:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: zip file closed

So it means that sometimes the resources are loaded but most of the time they aren't.

I've read that it would work if I disable gzip compression in Jetty, but actually I didn't find a way to configure the embedded Jetty in GWT.

I tried also to run the application with Tomcat in development mode but I lost the GWT debugging capabilities.

Has anyone worked with this successfully?

Thanks.

If you run Tomcat in debug mode, debugging should still work:

Right-click Tomcat-Server entry in Servers view in eclipse and then "Debug". After that server side debugging is done using Tomcat, client side using super dev mode.

If you are not using eclipse, it might depend on your development environment - but still it should be possible to debug the server side code.
