Setting the reload interval

The reload interval is a WebSphere Application Server extension property. The reload interval specifies a time interval (in seconds) for scanning the J2EE application's file system for updated files. The default value is 0 (zero). For more information about about WebSphere extension properties, see the WebSphere Application Server documentation.

1. Switch to the J2EE perspective.

2. In the Project Explorer view, select the desired enterprise application project.

3. Select Open With > Deployment Descriptor Editor from the pop-up menu.

4. On the Overview page of the editor, locate the WebSphere Extensions section.

5. In the Reload interval field, type a numeric value for the number of seconds.

6. Click File > Save to save your changes.
