The system I have integrated myfaces in has a development mode and tried
to make myfaces comply to that idea... :)
The solution I did was q&d, so you can always make a solution that works
for you..

I see what you're doing here. The problem is is that you dont want to
remove the values after every single call to your myFaces servlet, just
the very first one after a code change.
Also, I didn't realise MyFaces had a development mode. If so, what does
it do exactly?
Thanks,

In my case I use my own myfaces servlet, check if the site is in
development mode, and just remove the jsf specific values from the
session.
Something like this :
HttpSession session = ((HttpServletRequest)
request).getSession();
if (session != null) {
Enumeration en = session.getAttributeNames();
while (en.hasMoreElements()) {
String name = (String) en.nextElement();
if (name.indexOf(target) != -1) {
// remove this key...
System.out.println("NOT REMOVING SESSION
ATTRIBUTE : " + name);
session.removeAttribute(name);
// and stop the while loop.
break;
}
}
}
target = the jsf session key (just print out everything in the session
to see how the key is contrsucted)
Since this a pretty abnormal use case, maybe this can be done in some
prerendering phase in myfaces, but I really don't have a clue how to
handle that, but you want this to happen before the session is read by
myfaces and in a place where you can get a hold of the HttpSession.

How do i clear the session?? Can you do this everytime you reload the
app or something? I'm not sure how to remove myfaces specific session
attributes either.

Just clear the session or remove myfaces specific session attributes
(that's what I do to make sure everything is reparsed).
I thought the session attribute for the page is named after the jsp
filename on the physical filesystem.

Hi,
I've been having a lot of trouble this week developing my JSF
application. I've found it very time consuming to update/test my
code due to sessions (i guess its a session related problem anyway).
Everytime I do an update (to a JSF tag for example), I find that I
have to reload the application, and restart the browser to get it
to run correctly. Its ok when I edit some backend code, but its
extremely annoying having to reload and close browser all the time
when I update a tag value. The session seems to keep the bean
values after you reload.
How do you lot get around this problem?
I'm using MyEclipse with the latest MyFaces release.

Eurig
