How/where do I configure jboss as 7 so that I do not have to redeploy my .war file everytime I modify a JSP?

Add this to the web subsystem:

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:web:1.0" default-virtual-server="default-host">
...
    <configuration>
        <jsp-configuration development="true"/>
    </configuration>
</subsystem>

This did not work, I have it set up like this in standalone.xml:

           <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:web:1.0" default-virtual-server="default-host">

                <connector name="http" protocol="HTTP/1.1" socket-binding="http" scheme="http"/>

                <virtual-server name="default-host" enable-welcome-root="true">

                    <alias name="localhost"/>

                    <alias name="example.com"/>

                </virtual-server>

                <configuration>

                    <jsp-configuration development="true"/>

                </configuration>

            </subsystem>

However after I run standalone.bat, the relevant code in standalone.xml gets reset to:

           <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:web:1.0" default-virtual-server="default-host">

                <connector name="http" protocol="HTTP/1.1" socket-binding="http" scheme="http"/>

                <virtual-server name="default-host" enable-welcome-root="true">

                    <alias name="localhost"/>

                    <alias name="example.com"/>

                </virtual-server>

            </subsystem>

Hello,

I’m afraid, this is not working under AS 7.1.1.Final.

I’ve got the following configuration:

        <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:web:1.1" default-virtual-server="default-host" instance-id="local" native="false">

            <configuration>

                <jsp-configuration development="true" x-powered-by="false" trim-spaces="true" genStringAsCharArray="true" />

            </configuration>

And, when the server startups the following configuration is loaded at

org.apache.jasper.EmbeddedServletOptions.EmbeddedServletOptions(ServletConfig, ServletContext) line 505:

config.getInitParameter("development") => false

And same thing for the other parameters, my configuration is ignored.

After investigating, I notice that the StandardWrapper servlet config, is initialized with a default configuration in org.jboss.as.web.deployment.JBossContextConfig.processWebMetaData(JBossWebMetaData), line 417

Like if the configuration of the org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet retrieved from the JBossWebMetaData was not taking at all the jsp-configuration element.

Any idea please?

Thank you very much

It is a bug in 7.1.1.Final that was fixed shortly after release.

I would recommend you building 7.1 branch or taking 7.2 nightly build that have this issue fixed.

Thank you very much for the quick response.

Isn't there a simple way to fix that issue rather than using a nightly build ? You see, it seems to be more stable to me just to fix this issue rather using a nightly build.... Is there a git commit number I could check ?

Regards

hi,

this is the commit that fixed that exact problem https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-as/commit/f3468453008c7b329f24e0681c83f32604fc82b5

but given that there ware many addional bugfixes in similar areas i would really recommend you  building 7.1 branch which is at version 7.1.3 atm, and only contains bugfixes on top of 7.1.1 that you are using now.

Thank you.

Yeah, I know what you mean, but I remember trying AS 7.1.2.Final, and I had a couple of logging issue as well as strange timeout error logs.... Trying to use AS 7.1.2 or 7.1.3 right now would cost me a lot of time which I u fortunately don't have at the moment..

[natalia_s]

I don't see a build 7.1.2 available for downlaod. Not being able to reload JSPs in real time (as you update them) seem to be a very pressin issue for the developers using 7.1.1 final (like me). Is there a workaround it or a way to download a version where it was fixed? Should I go back to an earlier release where this wasn't an issue? Any suggerstions will be appresciated.

Tnx!
