Hot Deployment of minor changes terminates the session and triggers full app redeployment ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-3435 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3435 Project: Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: Core, Hot Deploy, Security Affects Versions: 2.1.0.BETA1 Environment: Windows XP SP2 JDK 1.5.0_16 JBoss AS 4.2.2.GA Eclipse JEE Europa Winter (3.3.2) JBoss Tools 2.1.2.GA JBoss Seam 2.1.0-SNAPSHOT # 309 + Revision 9013 for Initialization.java Reporter: Luis Tama Note: This bug happens (at least) when using an extended Identity component, which is now correctly deployed from /WEB-INF/dev at application initialization, as hot deployment was fixed in JBSEAM-3404. See that issue for more details, and revision 9013 for http://fisheye.jboss.org/browse/Seam/trunk/src/main/org/jboss/seam/init/I.... To reproduce this bug, create a completely new project called "siplacad2" with JBoss Tools 2.1.2.GA (New Seam Web Project). It's a WAR project. Add my extended Identity component, drop it in /src/action/org/ostion/siplacad2/session/Identity.java, in the same package as Authenticator.java, whose compiled class will be placed in /WEB-INF/dev for hot deployment. It includes a homePage property, and a renderHomePage method, which is called from home.page.xml. I ommited the code for dynamic assignment of the homePage depending on the user role. The getter is enough for the example. Also, I create /WebContent/home.page.xml, which will be responsible for redirecting the user to the real home page, after login, when accessing /home.xhtml. When making any little change in my xhtml pages, the whole app gets redeployed (or at least some components). AFAIK, Seam redeploys the whole app only when the session is quite dirty or the app is using old code. But that should not be the case with every xhtml page. Try this and you'll see: - Deploy the app. My components get loaded fine. - Navigate to http://localhost:8080/siplacad2/. We get this log: 07:03:19,790 INFO [Identity] Rendering Home Page: /home.xhtml - Login with any user and password. Everything fine up to here. We get this log: 07:04:01,555 INFO [Authenticator] authenticating luiggitama 07:04:01,602 INFO [Identity] Rendering Home Page: /home.xhtml - Make any small change in home.xhtml, e.g. add any word in the description of "This empty shell application includes:", maybe "...includes a lot of things:". Wait 5+ seconds until the changes are automatically published/redeployed to JBoss AS, and refresh the page in the browser. The problem is that my components get redeployed and the session is invalidated, so I must login again. This is the log: 07:08:32,790 INFO [Initialization] redeploying 07:08:32,899 INFO [Initialization] Installing components... 07:08:32,899 INFO [Component] Component: authenticator, scope: EVENT, type: JAVA_BEAN, class: org.ostion.siplacad2.session.Authenticator 07:08:32,899 INFO [Component] Component: org.jboss.seam.security.identity, scope: SESSION, type: JAVA_BEAN, class: org.ostion.siplacad2.session.Identity 07:08:32,899 INFO [Initialization] done redeploying 07:08:32,915 INFO [Identity] Rendering Home Page: /home.xhtml This happens even when making the same kind of small changes to any other page, say "test.xhtml" which could be a copy of home.xhtml. I do not even need to be navigating to that recently changed page to get the problem. So the problem is not in the home.page.xml. I think it is a problem with component hot (re)deployment strategy or deployment and redeployment methods in initialization ... So, with this new bug, my app or at least my components get redeployed and the session gets invalidated, so I lose a lot of time in the development process, having to login every time I make a little change to my pages. BTW, testing in my real project depends on a real session working, so turning off security is not an option.
