Hello everyone,
JBoss seems to still have a problem knowning when to recompile JSPs on new deployments. Whenever I deploy an EAR that has JSPs with an earlier compile date (say, for example, when I'm doing a rollback to a previous version out of version control), JBoss does not recompile them, and thus the "old" (but newer time-stamped) JSPs stay active.
The only way to avoid this is to (1) "touch" all the JSPs each time we do a build (even when reverting to an old build out of VC), (2) delete the /work directory manually, or (3) do a restart after each deploy. None of these is desirable, particularly when dealing with a production environment.
It's actually a
Tomcat issue that has been logged in their bug-tracking system (
bug #33453) and also in JBoss's JIRA (
#JBAS-3081). The Tomcat folks appear not to want to integrate a fix, and the solution instead was to have JBoss (or Tomcat) actually delete the /work directory automatically after each deploy.
This would work for us, and was supposed to be available in 4.0.4. We're running 4.0.5.GA and I can confirm the /work directory is NOT being deleted. I even downloaded a fresh JBoss install and pushed a dummy WAR just to
test it.
Is anyone else seeing this problem? Thanks!
Ryan
