    Changes to pages saved in jboss

    elcool

      Intro:

       

      I noticed that when I turn off the JBoss server and start it back up again, the \server\default\tmp\ folder gets completely deleted and then filled up with the contents of \server\default\deploy\.

       

      So, when I edited a .jsp on the fly I would go to \tmp\ and find the folder for my application (i.e. \363aad28320.myapp.ear\ )

      There, inside, I can browse thru the files and change them.

       

      I saved these files on an outside folder (i.e. C:\myworkspace\) in case I stopped the server and then started it up again, so they wouldn't get overwritten.

       

      Cool.

       

      But today, I forgot to save the changes, and restared the server, and when I go to my browser, I see my changes!

      I'm very grateful they are still there, but I wanna know how.

       

      Question:

       

      So, the question: where is jboss saving these changes I make to the .jsps on the \tmp\ folder that it knows I made a change and on the restart it shows me the newest page?

       

       

      I'm using JBoss 4.2.3.GA

          JSPs are converted into .java source files and compiled into .class files. This is done in the server/xxx/work directory. Most likely that is where the remembered changes are coming from.
