Server files not refreshing in LR 6

[Tanweer Ahmed ., geändert vor 1 Jahr.]

Hello Community,

I am using LR 6.I am modifying my jsp files in the server directly but the changes are not reflected on refreshing the browser.
I have made these configurations in my portal-ext.properties.

theme.css.fast.load=false
theme.images.fast.load=false
javascript.fast.load=false

Any suggestions will be appreciated

By default your tomcat jsp servlet will be set to development mode allowing you to directly modify the pages in server. Which jsp page are you modifying?

Hello Shagul,

The changes made to the out-of-the-box portlets are reflected whereas when changes are made to my custom plugin portlet jsp files,it does not reflect.

iam also facing the same prob

Hello Sruthi , I am still looking for the fix.

1. start liferay with -Dexternal-properties=portal-developer.properties

2. if it's a jsp hook you are developing you cannot edit those jsps in the hook war. Those jsps are actually moved to the root war at deploy time so edit them there

3. make sure org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet in tomcat/conf/web.xml does not have it's development property set to false

Hello Jelmer ,

Could you please tell me y do u want me to start Liferay with the -Dexternal-properties=portal-developer.properties.

I am not working on hooks plugin.Mine is custom plugin portlet.

I looked the development property inside web.xml.The property is no where mentioned but there is a bit of document added about it.I think this property will be available by default.

Still looking for the solution.

Its fine working here


The relevant part:

The Liferay Developer Mode optimizes Liferay Portal for development by removing all caches and thus making sure that any change made by the developer is visible in the website as soon as technically possible. One of the final goals is to avoid rebooting the server as much as possible.
How to set it up #

The developer mode is defined as a set of configuration properties that are stored in the portal-developer.properties file. In order to activate the developer mode you have to ensure that that file is loaded. The following sections explain how to achieve this:
Tomcat #

Edit the setenv.sh file (setenv.bat on windows)
Search for the line that sets the JAVA_OPTS variable
Add -Dexternal-properties=portal-developer.properties to the list of options
For example:
JAVA_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx1024m -XXermSize=32m -XX:MaxPermSize=160m -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -Duser.timezone=GMT+2
-Djava.security.auth.login.config=$CATALINA_HOME/conf/jaas.config
-Dorg.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.ENABLE_CLEAR_REFERENCES=false
-Dexternal-properties=portal-developer.properties"
Note that this has to be all on one line.
If you were already using the external-properties system property to load some other properties file, add portal-developer.properties with commas.
