Hi all,

I would like to double-check something with you guys.

(Using Tomcat 6.x, JSF 1.2, JDK 1.6.x) I was trying a simple JSP/JSF file:

and changed the minimum requirement for 4 :

The error msg was still showing with value "2". After investigation, I found that the validation is somehow link with the user session as I needed to close the browser, stop and start Tomcat, restart the browser and reload the file (to start a new jsessionid) so I can see the error msg change to 4.

This is very annoying. How do you develop JSF files in a dev environnement so you are sure that any changes to JSF tags attributes are being taken in account right away? Thk!

This issue is not related to JSF actually, but how you deploy your files on your web/application server.

Start by explainig how you are deploying on tomcat. Are you copying a web-app folder or are you using Tomcat's hot deploy with war-files?

There's also an option in Eclipse, that's called Dynamic Web Project, which manages the updating for you and could help you a lot.

Hi Dylan,

First, thk for your answer. Actually (and don't laugh), I wanted to test something very quickly and simple in JSF so I dl Tomcat and edited manually my JSP files directly in webapps folder.

I then after decided to take 2-3 hours to setup correctly my environment with Eclipse and used a dynamic web project as you just said. Guess what, it worked perfectly. :shocked:

I just said to myself this morning : " Welcome in 2008".

Can't believe I was still editing my JSP files with VI.

Just be careful about editing stuff in the webapps folder. If you redeploy the app, you may have your changes overlaid.

Editing the deployed WAR is a great time-saver for debugging things, but it does have its dangers!

Education won't help those who are proudly and willfully ignorant. They'll literally rather die before changing.
