Local fix

Problem summary

• The "Changes to JSP, HTML, graphic and non-Java files"
  section has been updated to include information about when
  linked resources are used.
  

Problem conclusion

• Changes to JSP, HTML, graphic and non-Java files
  
  Any changes that you make to your JSP, HTML, GIF, JPG, or a
  similar resource file; when you save the file while the
  server is running, you must publish the application on the
  server. Issuing a publish is especially important if changes
  to the resource file is a linked resource, which are files
  or folders that are stored in locations in the file system
  outside of the workspace.  The reason is because changes to
  linked resources cannot be detected by the workbench or the
  server as the changes happened outside of the workspace.
  To publish the application on the server, if the
  Automatically publish when starting servers check box
  (available from Window ? Preferences ? Server ? Launching
  page) is enabled, you can wait for the automatic publishing
  interval to pass.  However, if the Automatically publish
  when starting servers check box is clear, you must manually
  publish your application (right-click the server in the
  Servers view and select Publish).  After a publish is
  complete refresh the Web Browser for the server to recognize
  the changes.  The state of the application should not be
  lost.
  
  Tip:  At anytime during your development, if you notice your
  changes to a static resource is not updated on the server
  and the Automatically publish when starting servers check
  box is clear, try running a manual publish by right-click
  the server in the Servers view and select Publish.  After
  the publish is complete, refresh the Web browser and the
  changes should be updated on the server.
  
  For more details on automatic or manual publishing to the
  server, see the Publishing your application topic of V7.5.1
  Help System.
