There's a hotfix for that... (this is fixed in SP1).
If you're on SQL Server (I think with Oracle it is exactly the same fix), run this on the preview database:
IGNORE THIS, SEE UPDATE 2
UPDATE
Now that I think of it... run this on all your Content Delivery Databases...
UPDATE 2
Fixed with cumulative hotfix CD_2013.0.0.86156

This should happen automatically if the staging site's app pool identity is setup correctly. In IIS you need to set the app pool identity to NETWORK SERVICE, and then give NETWORK SERVICE file system permissions to write and delete.
Assumes a dotnet implementation of XM but same concept applies for a jsp/Tomcat setup.

The preview cartridge (cd_preview_ambient.jar) manages your sessions -- ensuring that you have a valid token that hasn't expired, creating a new sessions as necessary, etc.
The footprint cartridge just adds some standard claims about the session. I think this one is mostly there for backwards-compatibility and to provide some claims out-of-the-box for the ...

If you are certain that your dynamic preview content is deployed to your preview database (and your list of steps suggests that you are) you will want to focus on the configuration of your staging web application:
wrapper and storage dao bundle configuration in cd_storage_conf
cartridges in cd_ambient_conf
preview and ambientdata filter in web.xml
You will ...

From your link to the docs, you are using Tridion 2011 SP1. There was a hotfix that addressed this issue and it should be part of the Hotfix Rollup 2 release.

You will need to configure the path to your site in the cd_dynamic_conf.xml file of your website.
<Publication Id="99">
<Host Domain="your-website.com" Port="80" Protocol="http" Path="/jp/ja" />

Here is the answer of the steps Experience Manager goes through so that you get a better idea of which modules to troubleshoot: https://stackoverflow.com/a/10802033/1284894.
The issue is usually due to a bad configuration of the Ambient Data Framework including the Request Filter and cd_ambient_conf.xml, or the cd_storage_conf.xml files on either the ...

On your first question I'm unsure, a resolver is called on publishing, but I'm unaware if a resolver is also called by the Session Preview/Fast Track Publishing indeed. That would be worth a test I'd say.
However your second question I can confirm, once you edit your DCP in XPM, its changes will already be published automatically once you check the ...

Your question is:
Is there some setting that we am missing which would overcome the above scenario?
The answer to that simply is:
Yes you missed setting up Session Preview, i.e. you deliberately disabled it for whatever reason. Without a working Session Preview, you will not see the up to date content on a Page after its content has been changed, ...

You can have both in the same application. However you will need to configure both the CD Web Service (including session preview settings) and the application (including session preview settings).
You can find all of it documented here: Adding the Experience Manager Web site extension to a JSP Web site.

You can also verify the configs setting from below link for website, session webservice.

after verifying config, please also verify the JAR files using following link

Yes, and that's why in your cd_storage_conf.xml you'll find a section for the "WrapperDB". This is where you store the credentials for the session preview database.
<Wrappers>
<Wrapper Name="SessionWrapper">
<Storage Type="persistence" Id="sessionDb" dialect="MSSQL" Class="com.tridion.storage.persistence.JPADAOFactory">

This is how XPM works in a non-dd4t environment; it tries to push a file with random filename in the weboot and uses a filter to redirect the user there.
In a dd4t situation, you simply don't use the servlet filter prescribed by XPM. Instead, in your front controller, you check the taf:session:preview:preview_session token in the ambient data store; if that'...

It was actually a DNS issue: the CM could not reach the session preview webservice because the host name could not be resolved. Once we fixed that and restarted the CM, the session preview cookie showed up in our web app.

One idea would be to implement a 'soft' notification system where somebody could get notified if a Global Component is modified and also published in any site. (ie. it's ready for prime time). The publisher role would get a link to the staging item and component, and also their local page (with the outdated component). Maybe there is also a link in the ...

The way XPM figures out the destination for publishing is by mapping the URL you are on to the URL settings for the Publication Target (not the ones for Session Preview but the ones specifically for republishing purposes). Please check that those are configured and it is possible to map one of the Targets to your URL.
It is (very briefly) described on a ...

On the subject of whether resolvers are triggered: the answer is No. From the online docs [login required]:
When Experience Manager users add or modify content, Experience
Manager uses a different mechanism than regular publishing to update
the content on the staging Web site.
This mechanism is called Session Preview. For performance optimization

Though it might work, it was designed (and tested) to be used with separate webapps.
The only worry I have is in the storage config, not 100% sure how the system will cope with it.

Based on the error you are getting
The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint
"FK_PREVIEW_SESSION_ITEMS_SESSIONS".
The conflict occurred in database "*broker_db_em*", table "dbo.PREVIEW_SESSIONS", column 'PREVIEW_SESSION_ID'.
As you already mention, is an inconsistency in the database
I would suggest to recreate the "broker_db_em" ...

Curiously this issue appears to have been resolved. I'm not sure if it was through a number of successive changes without testing each independently or if I wasn't thorough enough in restarting services each time. But XPM is working fine now.
I did however notice issues with the speed of XPM when using IE within my VM (acronym overload!). I later switched ...

Short answer: no you cannot; ADF resides in your web application and relies on having direct access to the request object. Your solution approach essentially makes it impossible to use lots of extensions in an out-of-the-box manner (SmartTarget, Experience Manager, SDL Mobile, etc).
Long answer: yes you can... but you will have to do everything these ...

There was a defect in 2013 GA where it would still attempt to use Session Preview in some cases. That has been fixed in the upcoming service pack.
For now, I guess you'll need to work around it by having at least one working OData web service. You might be able to get away with not configuring a session database and such, I don't know.

In the 'File Types' area of the CMS do you correctly have the CSS mime type created? I'd check and add it... also check text/html files etc to see if the 'css' extension found it's way into one of those File Types, if it has for example ended up in the 'Html document' the CMS is likely publishing the file with the incorrect mime type.
Thanks
John

This may not be the issue, but it's burned me in the past:
Goto Administration > Multimedia Types
Open Cascading Style Sheet
Is it called Cascading Style Sheet, or Cascading Style Sheets ?
is the MIME Type text/css?
Also:
Is the title attribute being applied to any of your <link/> elements? If so, remove it.
Another thing you could do to see if ...

The bindings in my web.xml was what was causing the issue with the ODATA service (a combination of how SSL termination happens in our load balancer and ODATA server). Thanks to Brandon (from SDL support) for pointing that out.
Finally, we had disable the DD4T cache and disable session preview for optimum acceptable behavior.
Thanks to Albert's blog on ...

The cd_ambient_conf.xml for the preview webservice was missing the preview cartridge.
Adding

Fixed the issue.

We had the exact same error. When the call was made to GetPreviewToken, we were not sending the TCM id of the publish target like it was asking for. We were sending the parameter publishingTargetId as the current path of the page within the site...and that is why we were getting the error. Check the call for GetPublicationTargetFromUrl. It should return a ...

I find this very strange, it almost looks like you are trying to send preview content to a non preview enabled webservice. The error you are getting on the Webservice side indicates that it is using the new OData v4 Batching endpoint which is not meant for preview actions.
Are you sure you installed 'preview/service/standalone/' or its equivelant war file ...

The first thing to check is if the PreviewContentModule is DISABLED! This is not needed with a DD4T implementation, and will in fact prevent the session preview from working.
So if the section of your Web.config contains this module, please comment it out and try again.
