ClientLibs, CSS or JS file not replicating or flushing from dispatcher CQ5/AEM

If you have created a new client lib and on replication this is not being flushed from Dispatcher. A possible reason can be that your clientlib is nt:folder.

Change that to sling:Folder and that should sort you out. You can also change this to sling:OrderedFolder as well.

Difference between nt:folder, sling:folder & sling:orderedFolder

In CQ5 we use these node types interchangeably but at time we need to know the intricacies of these different types of nodes.

nt:folder -: This node type represents a plain file system folder (it can have nt:folder and nt:file children and only a few restricted meta data properties) // so quite restricted in terms of properties and nodes.

sling:folder -: This node type is basically nt:folder + nt:unstructured in one, i.e. it can be used inside other nt:folders. // should be used more often.

sling:orderedFolder -: The following node type is sling:folder + an ordering scheme bundled into one. Sling ordered folders just keep the order in which nodes are inserted, the nodes won’t do any sorting by themselves
