Hot redeployment - internationalization

[karolkarol]

Hello. I have a question about hot redeployment of language properties files. It looks like it is not hot deployed currently.
Am I wrong?

This feature is quite important when you creating app for many countries.
Please help.

I don't think it is implemented. Raise a JIRA issue, we'll try to implement it.

Fixed in CVS, please try it out.

Hot redeployment of Properties files is working (files are updated on the server).

But you need to restart the application to get the new messages as these files are read only when the application is started by the server.

Yes, that makes sense, I forgot that the JVM caches resources. So I'm not sure if I can really do anything about that, its all at the JVM level...

I should say "cached by the classloader". Does anyone know how to trick the JVM to reload resources for a particular classloader?


Hmmmm, one possible solution would be to let you use the hot deployment classloader for loading resources (you would have to deploy your resources to WEB-INF/dev).


Add a feature request for this to JIRA, if you like.
