If you want to guarantee it does then you could modify the startup script of the Tomcat server to remove the cache files
( From my production Linux server's startup.sh ) # System Log backup and cache cleanup mkdir $CATALINA_HOME/logs/bak >/dev/null 2>/dev/null mv -f $CATALINA_HOME/logs/*.log $CATALINA_HOME/logs/bak >/dev/null 2>/dev/null mv -f $CATALINA_HOME/logs/catalina.out $CATALINA_HOME/logs/bak >/dev/null 2>/dev/null rm -rf $CATALINA_HOME/work/Catalina/localhost/* >/dev/null 2>/dev/null # App log backup and cache cleanup mkdir $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/arsys/logs/bak >/dev/null 2>/dev/null mv -f $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/arsys/logs/*.log $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/arsys/logs/bak >/dev/null 2>/dev/null rm -rf $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/arsys/cache/* >/dev/null 2>/dev/null Fred -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Longwing, LJ CTR MDA/IC Sent: Monday, July 30, 2012 8:38 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Does restarting a mid-tier server force a recache? Rick, If you use cache persistence, then no, bouncing the server would not force a re-cache because based on my understanding, when the server restarts, it will simply re-load the existing cache files from disk. -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rick Cook Sent: Monday, July 30, 2012 7:30 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Does restarting a mid-tier server force a recache? ** My colleagues and I were just talking about restarting a web server, and we were all under the assumption that restarting Apache (or IIS, for that matter) and/or physically bouncing the server would force a re-cache of the Remedy form definitions on the mid-tier server. But as I think of it, I'm not sure that's the case, because it would involve removing the xml files from the server and pulling in a new copy of them. Can someone say definitively whether it does or doesn't?
