Problem to get Changes in jsp-files to apply

[rekrevs]

Hi!

I´m trying to modify my loginpage by changeing in the login.jsp file.

I have removed one picture from the page by removeing som code login.jsp. This works fine, the picture isn´t visible anymore.

My problem starts when I want to have the picture visible again. I add the code that i just removed som the login.jsp file looks like it originaly did, then I save it. But when I click update in Explorer the picrure still insn´t visible.

When I later (maybe to the day after or so) and makes the same as described above again the picture suddenly is visible again.

Does anyone know the reason/solution this problem?

This sounds like a browser caching issue. When you placed the image code back into the login.jsp and refreshed the browser, and the picture did not show up, did you ask the browser to look at the HTML source? Usually that helps me pinpoint problems with web pages.

I don't have a solution of this problem, but I can say its not cache related. Its rather that the login servlet doesn't have any overwrite capability like the portlets have, so it's always kept.

Is it possible to give the exisiting login servlet this "feature"?

What feature are you talking about ? What is an "overwrite capability" ?

[durand]

I mean that since the login is not a portlet it doesn't share the portlet XML descriptors, which include

<if-exists>overwrite</if-exists>

It seems to me that there isn't any way to do this for the login.

login.jsp is just a JSP, it doesn't store anything.

It can only be a caching issue, Ctrl+F5 is your friend,

I have cleaned my cache, and it´s still the same. When I accessed the portal from an other computer, that never been used to do this before it was the same problem.

I looked in the log. When i deployed my loginpage i got

"/jboss261/server/default/deploy/portal-server.war/WEB-INF/web.xml already deployed"

maybe that got something to do with it?

[rekrevs]

Also when I have deployed my loginpage. Clean my cache and open the loginpage, it isn´t updated. When I right-click on the page, then view source. The changes I have made in login.jsp isn´t there.

[peterj]

Wait a minute, do you have the correct login.jsp? There are several of them, but only one is the one used for login. (You never said which version of Portal you are using.)

First, try to restart the jboss server. If this doesn't work, stop the server, then delete everything inside the server\default\tmp\deploy folder plus everything inside the server\default\work\jboss.web\localhost. restart the server. You might want to delete your war file as well and redeploy when the server starts. Hope this helps

Seem like the problem is solved. After deleting the files in "server\default\work\jboss.web\localhost." the updating of login.jsp worked fine.

Thanks for all the help
