Thank you Klaus for your input. I fully understand your feelings about windows-click-click but I'm stuck on this environment, for development at least.
I'm running the Tomcat as a service. I do not have a catalina.bat anywhere on my computer... is it maybe a Tomcat 4 thing? All I can find is the tomcat5.exe. It's a pity that the Java options doesn't show in any log file. I can not understand why it's not working.... gah! Guess I'll have to do the ApplicationServlet extenstion to find out. There is no need to "touch" another file to force the update? I have seen the publish.xml file in the development environment for example with stamps for all files. /Malin On 7/29/07, Eckenfellner Klaus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > in which way do you start your tomcat? service / startmenu / console ? > maybe you could give the console approach a try and set the flag > manually. other approach could be to edit the catalina.bat file where > you can set a lot of tomcat-specific properties and your own > vm-properties. sorry but i am linux user and i have made bad experiences > with "windows-click-click" solutions. > > another approach is to extend the default ApplicationServlet and > checking in the initializeApplication() method if the flag is really > set. see > > http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry4.1/apidocs/org/apache/tapestry/ApplicationServlet.html#initializeApplication() > . > so you know if the flag is set right or not, which is a very important > information. > > > Malin Ljungh wrote: > > OK, so this is the key then... > > > > I use tomcat5w.exe "Configure Tomcat" tool. > > On the Java tab I have Java Options: > > > > -Dcatalina.home=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5 > > -Dcatalina.base=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5 > > -Djava.endorsed.dirs=C:\Program Files\Apache Software > > Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\common\endorsed > > -Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat > > 5.5\temp > > -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager > > -Djava.util.logging.config.file=C:\Program Files\Apache Software > > Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\conf\logging.properties > > -Dorg.apache.tapestry.disable-caching=true > > > > but that's obviously not doing the trick :-( > > > > Any suggestions? > > > > /Malin > > > > On 7/29/07, *Eckenfellner Klaus* < [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: > > > > the only way to get this behavior you want (changes to html files > are > > applied without restarting tapestry), can be set with the > > -Dorg.apache.tapestry.disable-caching=true flag. here a snippet > > from the > > tapestry documentation: > > > > If specified (as "true"), then the framework will discard all cached > > data (specifications,>>> !!!!
