Viewing modifications to a custom web application

After making changes to your Information Console web application, you need to view the changes. Caching in the browser or your application server can interfere with seeing the changes you made. After changing an Information Console application, complete these general tasks in order:

n	Save any files involved in the change.

n	Refresh the browser page.

n	If you do not see changes you made in a JSP or XML file, complete the following tasks in order:

n	Shut down the JSP engine.

n	Clear the JSP engine’s cache or work directory to ensure that the JSP engine picks up your changes. For example, to force Information Console’s embedded servlet engine to use the changed files, delete all files from C:\Program Files\Actuate11\iPortal\work and clear the web browser’s cache.

n	Restart the JSP engine.

n	If you do not see changes you made in a cascading style sheet file or a JavaScript file, clear the web browser’s cache, then refresh the page.

Your changes appear in the web browser.
