Server restart for JSP changes.

[Tauri Valor]

Hi

Do I need to restart my server everytime I modify my jsp ? Please help me if I need to configure anything for page refreshing without restart of server.

Thanks.

The answer is: no

If you are doing "packaged deployement" (i.e deploying packaged .war files) all you have to do is copy a new version to the "deploy" folder.

If you are doing "exploded deployment" (i.e editing your JSP files directly in a .war subfolder of the "deploy" folder) the default setting normally make JBoss recompile the JSP if it has been changed (this setting is set by changing parameters to the default JSP servlet in the META-INF/web.xml file of the embedded Tomcat deployment folder).

If JBoss fails discovering chages that you've made to your JSPs, try reloading your application by either making changes to the web.xml or by using the JMX-console.

Thanks for response.

Im using Eclipse3.3 with Jboss4.2 plugin. Is there any specific changes needed to be done in Eclipse ?

When using Eclipse and WTP/JBoss plugin a simple "republish" usually does the trick...

Right click on the server you are publishing to in the "servers" view/window and choose "clean". This will republish your application.

If you are using exploded deployment, remeber to set "Publishing" to "Automatically publish when resources change" for the server you are publishing your project to (you'll find this setting if you right-click on the server definition in the "Servers" window and choose "open").
