Caching: refreshing external content

in a web project using myFaces 2.1.8, I use the following line of code in a composite component in order to include external content (located at the application server, outside of the webapp-folder):

<ui:include src="file:/#{someSingletonBean.externalContentDir}/#{cc.attrs.externalContentFilename}" />

The FACELETS_REFRESH_PERIOD context param is set to 2 hours.

Changes made to the external content files are however not refreshed until the server gets restarted.

Is there a way to populate these changes to myFaces without restarting the server?

Solution

  • There is a bug recently found and fixed in 2.2.4 that cause the problem. See MYFACES-3890 for details.
