I keep getting this error when working on JSF pages.

The error says:

org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap at localhost:52426 (may be out of synch) was unable to replace the running code with the code in the workspace.

Reason:
Hot code replace failed- VM may be inconsistent

I believe there is either a problem with Tomcat or Eclipse, or possibly how the two are interacting.

Anyone have this problem before, or know of a possible solution?

Thanks

Are you using MyEclipse Web project with exploded deployment? Packaged deployment does not have the same hot-swap capability. Beyond that, here are a couple of things to keep in mind.

1. Make sure you are running your eclipse(MyEcilpse) instance with the same jvm that you are launching Tomcat with.
2. Make sure both eclipse and tomcat are launching with relatively new release of JDK. 1.3 and early versions of 1.4 did not support hot swapping very well. Also Sun is always fixing bugs in the latest jdk updates related to hot swapping.
3. Hot swapping isn’t available when you change anonymous inner classes or changing class or method signatures.

If you change classes in exploded webapps you have to configure Tomcat itself to look after that … For Tomcat 5.5 you could simply add a context.xml to WebRoot/META-INF with

<Context reloadable=”true”/>

.

RFE: MyEclipse could add the reloadable-behaviour (or complete Tomcat-Configuration) via server configuration …
