why rebooting ? it's really not necessary. Simply redeploy your ear package and the application will be reloaded. A shortcut is deploying the ear as exploded directory. Then change the timestamp of META-INF/application.xml file In unix $ touch META-INF/application.xml or simply add an empty space to the file from a text editor and save it. regards View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4175613#...
