Eclipse - Dynamic Web Project not picking up changes in jsp or

Question

I am using Run As -> Run on server, to run my web project on the local tomcat instance.

Problem is, when I make changes on JSP's and other project component, sometimes Eclipse picks this changes up, sometimes is does not. It seems kind of random...

Answer 1

This could be due to various reasons, and cannot give a solid answer to it without knowing the exact cause. But, there are few things that could lead to this.

• Check your Build Automatically setting (Project -> Build Automatically). This has to be enabled to publish your changes.
• Under Server definition, check the Publishing settings. If it is none, then nothing will be published. If you have set a publishing interval, then you have to wait till that time is elapsed to get your copy synchronized with server.
• If it is only related to JSP / JS, your browser cache could be giving you an old copy. Try clearing out your cache.
