Weird Deployment Behaviour

[imm102]

Hi,

I've been making updates to a project newproj.ear and as a backup I store the original as newproj.ear.old. However when I tried to swap back in the original and deploy, the resultant application didn't change back. Ive checked the original file and its not been modifed for months. Deployment was sucessful, checked targets etc all good. The resultant application thats running is still my changed version. I know this because a jsp i altered still shows changes. This isn't a webcaching issue, its recreated on other machines. Ive tried undeploying, deleting the active project, restarting the server and then redeploying no luck. Whats going on? Im stumped.

What version of Weblogic are you running and on what platform How are you deploying it? What is the staging mode?

I've seen this same thing on WLS 8.1 on Solaris. How I get around it is to deploy the new/updated ear, stop the managed server, delete the staging directory, then restart the managed server. This will cause the staging directory to be rebuilt with the latest deployment as the managed server comes back up. I think this is only if the staging mode is "Stage".

Hope this helps.
