JSP changes not being shown in jBoss

Question

I am pretty new to jBoss and JSP and come from a PHP background, if that helps.

I have checked out a project from subversion and am fooling around with the .jsp pages, tinkering with texts and changing them to get a hang on the screen. Once I do that, I build the project again, the changes I made on the *.jsp pages do not reflect on the screen. Do I need to stop, restart jBoss and then build the project again ? (that would be crazy)

Not sure what I am missing out, but any explanation is welcome.

Answer 1

By default if you deploy an exploded Web application (not packaged but as a folder) the content is automatically reloaded each time you modify a JSP.
You can alter this behaviour using specific configuration for the JBoss AS release you are using. For example, if you are using JBoss AS 7, then check this tutorial .
Hope it helps
