what is the purpose of .faces-config.xml.jsfdia ?

[kux]

Hello

After making some small changes on my project, this file came up generated in WEB-INF. I don't know how it got generated (maybe by JBoss tools?) but afer redeploying my app to JBoss  5.1.0, the application keeps getting redeployed in an infinite loop until the app server crashes with an OutOfMemoryException. Deleting it, all goes fine...

Does someone know what it's purpose is and how it got generated?

Thank you

This file is generated by Eclipse if you modify pages.xml or faces-config.xml.
The infinite loop error is a known issue under Jboss 5.1, when eclipse generates these *.spdia files.

So, when you modify the above files, you just delete the generated spdia files. It is the solution. :)

And the purpose of this file is related to the visual displaying of xml files.

Hmm, so I guess the only way to get rid of this problem is to modify the ant build script to delete this file in case it exists... Ok, thank's a lot. I was only afraid that this file might actually have some relevance at runtime and deleting it might cause some problems.

Deleting these files will not cause problems based on my experiences.
