Rebuilding the application database

AppXRay's application database is incrementally updated as you make changes to the files in your web application. Some of the information that is used to construct the application database comes from your compiled Java class files and edited configuration files. The information from these files can sometimes be misreported by Eclipse if it becomes out of sync (as a developer you may have sometime noticed the need to perform a Rebuild All command to update Eclipse when you make changes to your Java classes). Rebuilding the application database allows the application database to be rebuilt from scratch and updated with the latest information about your application. This can be useful if you should see problems that appear to be misreported by the IDE.

1. Right click on the web application project folder in the Package Explorer view.
2. Select Rebuild AppXRay Database from the popup-menu of the selected project.
3. The resulting Information dialog is displayed.

   

4. Click Yes in the resulting Information dialog to begin rebuilding the database.
   The IDE starts the web application analysis process. Depending on the size of your application, this operation may take a few seconds to a few minutes.
