Hi,
We are using MEB 2014 with WAS 8.5. After starting the server & deploying the application; application works fine for first time. When we change a file & save it; application stops; no auto deployment happens.

We need to restart the server again & again. This is happening in debug mode also.

Please let us know if you need any extra info

raichu,

Sorry that you are seeing this issue.

Which deployment mode is the server configured? Hot deployment for WAS works in ‘Classic’ and ‘In-Workspace’ deployment mode. In addition to that, please make sure the WAS server is configured to run in “Debug” mode. Also, please make sure that “Project -> Build Automatically” is turned on.

If you are using the Classic mode, then please try the In-Workspace deployment mode. This mode deploys EAR files from the Workspace location rather than being copied to the WebSphere profile location. This is the fastest mode, but can be used on only EAR projects. Synchronization of resources and code is handled by WebSphere directly. This mode is most appropriate for rapid application evolution while debugging.

If the issue persists, then please switch to a new workspace and check to rule out workspace specific issues. Also check with another project to rule out project specific issues.

If none of the suggestions work, then please share with us what exact changes you are making to which files ex: jsp,html,java etc to help us investigate further. Clear the contents of the .log file located at <workspace dir>/.metadata/.log, replicate the issue and send us the .log file. Please change the extension of the .log file to .txt and send us.

The latest releases, MyEclipse 2015/MyEclipse 2016 have significant improvements in terms of Websphere support. MyEclipse 2016 also supports LivePreview.
