Changes to XHTML and Java sources of a JSF 2.0 web project not refreshed on publish to the WAS V8 server

Troubleshooting


Problem

XHTML and Java sources changes for a JSF web project do not refresh when using IBM Rational Application Developer to publish to an IBM WebSphere Application Server.

Symptom

Assume the example of using Rational Application Developer (RAD) V8.5.1 to auto-publish or manual publish a web 2.5+ JSF 2.0 project to WebSphere Application Server (WAS) V8.5 on Microsoft Windows 7 Professional. The publish worked fine for a plain JSP web project, but when it comes to a JSF 2.0 project, changes made in XHTML and Java sources are not published to the server.

WAS 8.5 does not refresh or pick up the JSF 2.0 web project changes when the web page is run after publishing to the server. These are single root projects. The Project > "Build Automatically" option is selected. Removing the application EAR from the server using the “Add and Remove” option and adding the web application EAR again does not resolve the issue. This happens even if you are logged in as an Administrator group user and use Run As Administrator to start RAD. Restarting the server does not resolve the issue.

The web project targeted runtime might be set to WAS 8.0. Changing the target runtime to WAS 8.5 might briefly resolve the issue, but the problem might occur again later.
