Hi,

I am running WebLogic 7 with JDK 1.4 . When I make a change to a class, the class is copied to WebLogic and reloaded (I understand from other posts that the this will work as long as the shape of the class is maintained).

However, when I change my log4j.properties file or struts config file, that the file is also copied, but is not reloaded. I know that this may be due to the difference between reloading a class (via a class loader) and reloading the web application. So, what is the recommended way to reload the application for WebLogic in this instances? Stop and start the server? Using a REDEPLOY file under web-inf?

Thanks

GSX,

It looks like you already know them. 🙂 Using a REDEPLOY file under web-inf is the preferred method. Simply ‘touch’ it in your Eclipse workspace and when it’s copied to the deployment area Weblogic will detect the change and reload your entire application properly. If this doesn’t work, for whatever reason, then you’ll need to stop the server and use the ‘Redeploy’ button to completely refresh the deployment.
