This section describes a method that will be especially useful for testing small changes in JSP files without having to go through a cumbersome reload process. This example will be demonstrated with the plancreator plugin: 1.
- Modify <geronimo-directory>\var\catalina\conf\web.xml:
...
- Set the development parameter to true in the init-param to org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet
...
- Edit (add if doesn't exist) the modificationTestInterval to 0
...
- In the webapp that you intend to modify, find the web.xml and remove the servlet-name and servlet-mapping of the jsp you intend to modify and test.
...
- For example, for PlanCreator, edit the plancreator-console-tomcat-2.2-SNAPSHOT.car\WEB-INF\web.xml.
...
- Restart the server with these settings in place.
Once this is done, you can modify the jsp in place and hit refresh to test it. It'll be recompiled each time.
