Java and XPages

Subject: Java and XPages

Feedback Type: Question

Product Area: Domino Designer on Eclipse (DDE)

Technical Area: Functionality

Platform: Windows XP client

Release: 8.5

Reproducible: Always

I am following the guide in the Designer Wiki for adding custom java to XPages. Basically, swap to Java perspective, add to Webcontent/WEB_INF.

One serious problem. Once you have loaded the page, the java remains cached in memory for ever. You can delete the JAR and the xpage will continue to run the now non-existant code. If you update the JAR the old code will continue to run.

I have tried using Clean, Rebuild etc. But apart from restarting the server, there is no way to update the code.

Obviously restarting the server after every edit makes this pretty much useless.

I need to use Java as the code is too complicated to consider using Javascript, and the XPage javascript editor is really not much more than Notepad.

Has anyone found a way to make the server refresh the XPage java?

Cheers

Simon
