I am using 11/23 NB 6.0 build with JDK 5.0, Appserver 9.1 EE and PE on Win XP Updated the web app does not show the update, needs a reload to show the update Steps to recreate: (1) Use New Project to create a web app (2) deploy and run the app (3) make some change to the web app, then deploy and run (4) the change does not show in the web page, I had to click on the reload, then the change shows up. Vince also saw this and asked a bug to be filed.
which browser are you using?
It is IE6.
This looks like an IE setting issue. changing Internet Options->Temporary Internet Files->Settings...->Check for newer version of stored pages to 'Every visit to the page' seems to have resolved this... Judy had this set to 'Automatically' Is there a way to force IE to load a page even if it thinks it doesn't have to? I guess that kind of change would be in the command line options used to get IE to open the page. the ant module is where the source for nbbrowse is, so they may be able to fix the way IE is getting called to open the page.
The <nbbrowse> task does nothing beyond call the IDE's web browser integration.
Note: I suspect this is an Appserver bug, not a NetBeans issue; NB just asks to display a URL. Probably IE checks for a Last-Modified header. Could be an IE bug, too.
> I suspect this is an Appserver bug. I checked using the Live HTTP Headers Firefox plugin and the fact is that Appserver 9.1 does not set the Last-Modified header. But neither does Tomcat, for that matter. So I don't think one can count on this. It is reasonable to expect that web developers will have their browser set to always check for the new version of the page, as Vince suggested in #desc4 (and this does resolve the issue). So I don't think we need to do anything on the IDE side - closing as WONTFIX.
