Re: GWT App Deployed To Tomcat Displays Old Content

Hi KGD,

I met the same issue ( ...a day ago ....).

Remember that the Tomcat you use on your system is the same that Eclipse use.

Eclipse just uses a connector to the tomcat runtime.

So, there might many reasons :

1) first, when you deploy your WAR, you forget to allow "overwrite existing WAR" from

Eclipse export tool, and you still run the old WAR

2) stoping and starting Tomcat has no effect to the server session TLD cache

(not the browser cache ). Under Tomcat directory, you have a "work" directory with *.tld files.

Delete all these files and stop-restart tomcat many times, even if you have cleaned 

the webapps directory

3) you think you clean your browser cache but the browser didn't clean its cache 

( yes it happens)

Press many time F5, clean cache from menu, request the same JSP with Tomcat stopped

in order to really clean the browser cache

Tell me if it solves anything.

If not, we investigate more.

I hope it helps.

Regards.

Hi,
       I am currently using Eclipse with GWT SDK 2.4.0 to develop a
GWT application.  Inside Eclipse, I have tested my application to
ensure it pulls the dynamic content from a mysql database correctly.

       I have deployed it to a local Tomcat 7 installaton and the
application war file deploys successfully.  However, the page displays
the OLD hard-coded content which were merely placeholders.

       The content that is displayed when I deploy the app to Tomcat
does not exist ANYWHERE in my source code as I removed it when I
changed the source to my database.

         Again, the app works fine when using the embedded App Engine
for testing but real deployment to Tomcat continues to reflect old
content.

         I have started/stopped Tomcat, cleared my browser cache,
manually deleted all files from the Tomcat webapps directory and still
it's the exact same.

        There must be something that I'm missing and I'd appreciate
any help that is available.

Thanks,
KGD
