ProcedureTo reload code or deployment descriptor changes

  1. Create an empty file named .reload at the root of the deployed application or module.

    For an application:

    domain-dir/applications/j2ee-apps/app-name/.reload

    For an individually deployed module:

    domain-dir/applications/j2ee-modules/module-name/.reload
  2. Explicitly update the .reload file’s timestamp (touch .reload in UNIX) each time you make changes.
