Jobss reloading of Java Compiled class

[ahmadshakil]

Hi All
I am currently using Jboss for my web applications.
I am a developer and need to change java servlets agin and again but whenever I compiled a servlet class and update it in web directory jboss doesnot pick chnages.

Any idea how to fix this.

[peterj]

"touch" the web.xml file, this should cause jbossas to redeploy the app and then pick up the updated servlets.

any further detail?

I do not understand what you are asking...

[ahmadshakil]

I mean what entries in web.xml needs to be modified.

[peterj]

Nothing, just change the timestamp on the file - that is what the 'touch' utility does.

Let me do some goolging........

When we configure eclipse with jobss then it automatically reloads java classes.
Does eclipse uses touch utility at backend

[peterj]

The touch utility is a linux utility. You can get a Windows version at http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/.

Sorry, but I don't trust Eclipse to properly build or deploy anything, so I can't help you there. But I think you could set up a post-build script in Eclipse that will run touch.
