RAD Websphere - EAR not picking up latest jar

Question

Hi,

I am using RAD 7.0. My web application works with a jar(contains the backend code for our application) which undergoes frequent changes. But whenever I replace the jar in the WebInf/lib folder of the war and restart the server, it does not pick up the latest jar. It keeps referring to the previous jar. I have to undeploy, restart server several times to make the war pick up the latest jar. Has anyone come across this issue? Any pointers will be useful.

Many thanks, RJ

Answer 1

Is your server configured with "Run with resources within the workspace"?

If so, switch to "Run with resources on the server" and see if this solves the problem.

I have had my share of RAD problems not picking up new code, especially on RAD 6.0 and 7.0; on RAD 7.5, IBM finally seemed to have a grip on these issues.
