Ok - next speed bump. I make changes to the CFX java, recompile the tag and test it in the browser. OpenBD does not automatically reload the CFX class. I know on ACF there was a setting that would cause the server to reload the class with any changes. Is there an equivalent setting for OpenBD? If so, where would I find this?
Thanks again for any help.
