Status Not under consideration
Workspace WebSphere Liberty

Created on Feb 20, 2013

web applications within an EAR should be treated as single entities with regards to changes

If I make changes to a web application that is contained within an EAR the Liberty profile will consider that as a change on the EAR level instead of the web application level and restart the entire EAR instead of the affected ServletContext.
This is in our case not a feasable way of working due to the size of our EAR containing 100+ web applications (and EJBs).

    Thank you for the suggestion. The requirement does have merit, but looking at it with respect to our total backlog of requests we do not see sufficient interest in this enhancement to merit delivery any time in the foreseeable future. Given the unlikelihood that we would deliver this, we are declining the request rather than leaving it in an uncommitted state for an extended period of time. If you would like to discuss this decision further, please contact Graham Charters <charters@uk.ibm.com>.
