Theme CSS only effective after server re boot

[Pawan Thakur, geändert vor 8 Jahren.]

Hello,

Attached is my theme Structure.

I am making changes to custom.css but after the same I dun see any changes until I tomcat server stop/start.
This is a real pain and I have read and did the developer mode settings as well

if exist "%CATALINA_HOME%/jre1.6.0_20/win" (
if not "%JAVA_HOME%" == "" (
set JAVA_HOME=
)

set "JRE_HOME=%CATALINA_HOME%/jre1.6.0_20/win"
)

set "CATALINA_OPTS=%CATALINA_OPTS% -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Dorg.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.ENABLE_CLEAR_REFERENCES=false -Duser.timezone=GMT -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Dexternal-properties=portal-developer.properties"

But no results.

What am I doing wrong ? Please help.

Thanks,
Pawan

Are you changing the file inline in tomcat's webapps directory, or are you doing a build and deploy of the theme plugin?

The former is not guaranteed to do anything, the latter normally works.

Hello,

I was NOT making changes inline.

I was creating theme plugin with Maven using Classic theme as Parent theme.

I succeeded by adding following in my portal-ext.properties

include-and-override=portal-developer.properties

and it was all working after that.

But I have another related issue/query will posting in a separate thread, just for the sake of simplicity.

Thanks,
Pawan
