When using Tomcat, aliases to the WebFOCUS web apps are created, for example, "ibi_apps" which points to Drive:\ibi\WebFOCUS77\webapps\webfocus. I can make changes to jsp files in this directory and see the changes immediately on refreshing the web browser.

Things don't appear to behave the same way in WebSphere - changes to JSP files are not seen by refreshing the web browser. I have no experience with WebSpehere, but I tried stopping/starting and that made no difference. Which seems to suggest that the web app is deployed as a war file - I would have to recreate the war file if I want to apply changes. Is this a correct assumption?

I'm not sure if I'm using the correct terminology...

WebSphere does deploy war files so any changes to files under the webfocus directory require you to recreate the war file and re-deploy it under websphere. I couldn't locate the commands to do the recreation of the war file but can reach out to people if you need help with that.


Thank you for using Focal Point!

Thanks Chuck.

The documentation, "WebFOCUS and ReportCaster Installation and Configuration for Windows" (wf_win_7705install.pdf) tells us how to deploy a web app, but does not tell us how to create a war file. Even though this might be a non-WebFOCUS task, I believe it should be included in the documentation.

I completely disagree.

I suppose I should ask this question on a WebSphere forum?
