Jboss EAP 6.4 content under jboss-web.xml overlay directory is not dynamically updated

#1

Jboss version EAP 6.4

We have some auto-generated files in /DocRoot/ directory that configured in jboss-web.xml as overlay

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-web>
  <context-root>/App</context-root>
  <overlay>${jboss.server.base.dir}/DocRoot/</overlay>
</jboss-web>

The problem is that after updating files inside /DocRoot/ the changes are only available after jboss server restart.

It looks like jboss is caching files from overlay directory. Similar issue described for version EAP 7 https://issues.redhat.com/browse/JBEAP-11673

We can’t update Jboss([Jboss Online Training)(https://hkrtrainings.com/jboss-training) version. We are looking for workaround. Please advise.
