One of the very useful features in previous JBoss AS versions was
the
ability of the server to identify and pick up changes to a .jsp page
in an exploded deployment and serve the updated content on next
request. Trying this out in JBoss AS 7.0.0.Beta3, I see that this no
longer works:
1) Create and deploy a test.war (along with a test.war.dodeploy) in
the standalone/deployments.
2) test.war contains a test.jsp with an intentional syntax error in it
3) Access the jsp via browser and see the (expected) compilation
error. Now open the test.jsp file in a text editor, from the exploded
test.war deployment, and edit it to fix the error
4) Access the jsp via browser again. Tried it more than once. I still
see the compilation failure i.e. the jsp changes aren't being picked
up anymore. I had to undeploy and redeploy the exploded deployment for
the changes to be picked up.
I remember that in previous versions of AS there were some parameters
for the jsp compiler/executor which by default enabled this check for
jsp changes. Has this changed in AS7? Where and what values are set
currently? Or has this got something to do with the way we handle
exploded deployment in AS7?
Well, you have to enable either development mode, or the background
check for recompilation :)
