faces-config.xml file is read on every page request
I posted a few days back with an issue about the managed beans being
recreated on every page request. I changed my dependencies to now use
MyFaces 1.2.7, and that problem seemed to have stopped. But I now notice
that everytime I request a page, anything *.jsf, I notice in the logs that
the faces-config.xml file is reread. It really seems that everytime I
request a page that all of the configs are read again. This behavior scares
me quite a bit, as I need to ensure in a production environment that I can
relay on session data, etc ...
This behavior only occurs in production, and can not be replicated on any of
our test servers. Is this at all normal, or is there a way to stop this.
Is this something that should worry me on a production server? Any help
figuring this out would really be appreciated. The differences between
production and testing environments are : production is linux, testing is
windows and production is Tomcat + Apache Web Server and testing is just
Tomcat. Here is a snippit from our web.xml for configuring Myfaces:
<!-- Listener, to allow Jetty serving MyFaces apps -->
<listener>
<listener-class>org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<!-- Faces Servlet -->
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<!-- Faces Servlet Mapping -->
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsf</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Here is a copy of the log that shows the reloading of the config. Keep in
mind this occurs on every request of a *.jsf page:

Posted by Leonardo Uribe <lu...@gmail.com>.
Hi
This behavior is controlled by org.apache.myfaces.CONFIG_REFRESH_PERIOD
config init param. The default value is 2 (seconds), so if you want to
disable it, just add this to your web.xml
<context-param>
<param-name>org.apache.myfaces.CONFIG_REFRESH_PERIOD</param-name>
<param-value>0</param-value>
</context-param>
