JRebel monitoring class folder but not deploying

Question

While starting WL with JRebel I can see folder monitor message but when placing class file into the folder its not being loaded.

Currently we have WL 9.2 which part of classpath is api.jar.

In addition we added to the classpath classes folder with same package structure of the api.jar.

In the root of the api.jar we have the rebel.xml which pointing to the classes folder.

While starting the WL I can see its monitoring the classes folder but while placing any class file to the classes folder , JRebel not reloading it.

Please advice.

Did you try to use the class in your application? Just copying the class to the monitored folder doesn't necessarily reload it. — Henri Viik, Apr 19 '15 at 18:32

JRebel writes the classes it is making reloadable into the log with lines that contain this: instrumented class 'com.package.ClassName' from '/path1/com/package/ClassName.class'

If file change is detected then log contains line something like this Event 'CHANGE' on: '/path2/com/package/ClassName.class'

If path1 and path2 are same then upon next usage of the class the JRebel will reload the .class and print to log following Reloading class 'com.package.ClassName'

If path1 and path2 are not same then you must finetune your rebel.xml

This will get and idea of where the process breaks and where to continue looking.

Hi , The rebel.xml is defined as you described but no luck. Its not reloading the class files – Amir_Af Apr 30 '15 at 12:30
In this case can you send the jrebel.log to the support@zeroturnaround.com with the absolute location of .class file so it can be investigated further. – Margus Pala Apr 30 '15 at 14:08
We found the issue was that the flow ran incorrectly so classes didn't get loaded. Thanks Margus. – Amir_Af May 02 '15 at 10:26
