Hello, This question is specific to Websphere Studio Application Developer (5.1) but it may be applicable to other IDE's as well.
Apparently, when I make a change to a SQLMaps xml file, I have to restart the entire test application server (WAS Express 5.0 server) within WSAD (not the IDE itself), as opposed to simply restarting the project within that app server. Otherwise I get weird, iBATIS-level bugs that clear up upon a full restart. We're using Struts as well, and changes to Struts-related config files seem to digest properly with simply restarting the project. Why the difference? My guess at this point is that it's related to the fact that the DataSource is initialized and maintained at the app server level, not at the web app level. So, maybe SQLMaps does some sort of binding to the DS which requires a full restart of the app server to clear its config cache. This isn't a big issue, it's just an annoyance, but I'm extremely curious about the phenomena. I can provide more specific details if required. Any insight? Thanks! Ted
