Better usability of feature 'touch web.xml'

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    • The restart ability in the main toolbar has been renamed to restart-module and added to the context menu of a deployed archive. This feature touches the web.xml file of a selected module, forcing the module to refresh on the server.
    • Documented as Feature Request

    Description

      People keep asking me, if JBDS or tools can simply touch web.xml. When they develop, they try to 'Full publish' on the deployed project, which does not actually touch web.xml (why?) They workaround it touching it by hand or simply editing and saving trivial change.

      Almost nobody including me is able to use our button in main toolbar. That is probably because almost nobody uses the main toolbar and does not expect such feature there.

      Can this action be added to context menu of deployed archive and possibly have some shortcut for it?

          • Major - To be worked after higher priority work items are addressed. When the severity is high and the effort to change it is low to moderate, this term is chosen. Issues in this category likely have an existing workaround but implementation or execution may be non-trivial.

          • Minor - To be worked after urgent, high, and medium priorities are resolved. This term is chosen when the severity of the issue is low, or the complexity or effort to correct it may be higher, relatively speaking. For low priority issues, known workarounds exist or are not needed due to the trivial effort needed to address the issue.
