war servlet not refreshing

ekamradt Mar 22, 2005 5:56 PM

This is a real simple newbie question.
I'm running jboss 4.0.1 from the command line on windoze.

I made a simple servlet, built a war file, and placed it in the deploy directory - it worked. Then I modified the servlet and redeployed the war file, but the change doesn't show. It old version of the war must be cached.

How do I turn that cache off?

Does ur war file contain jars?

On windows, Jar files get locked. So basically, when you hotdeploy, the old unjarred directory representing your war, in /server/default/tmp does not get cleaned up.

Before you hotdeploy, remove the relevant war directory from /server/default/tmp.

JBoss expands the war file under the tmp directory of ur config, for deploying the web components.

Nope - no jars.

The war contains three files one WEB-INF/web.xml,
one WEB-INF/classes/eTest.java,
one WEB-INF/classes/eTest.class,

and that is all. eTest.java is a simple servlet.

I answered my own question.

It wasn't a simple servlet, it was a sevelet using an outside wrapper. When I turned it into a single, simple servlet - the refresh happened - no problem.

Now I have to figure out why the wrapper stops the refresh.

I have a few questions because I am having a similar problem.

1. Where you accessing this bean with a JSP page?
2. What do you mean unwrapping it. Could you put your before and after source up
it it is not to much trouble.

thx,
