Some struts-config.xml data cached ?

[Charlie Toohey <ct...@pacbell.net>]

I am experiencing some bizarreness with struts-config.xml changes not taking.

I have a form-bean which is of type DynaActionForm. The problem is that when 
I add new form-property tags to the form-bean, they are not recognized, so I 
get run-time exceptions when displaying the jsp with that form (exception is 
basically saying no getter method for property X, where X is the property I 
just added).

I typically use the manager webapp to reload my webapp, and of course have 
also tried restarting Tomcat, but to no avail. It is like Struts somehow 
caches the form-bean property data somewhere.

Additional vital information:
I can confirm that my struts-config.xml is begin re-read on "ant reload" 
because if I change the name of the form-bean in my Action to a non-existent 
form-bean, or if I change the name of the above mentioned form-bean without 
making the corresponding change in the Action, I get the expected exception 
that the form bean can not be found.

But when I add a new property to the form-bean, it is not picked up. 

If I change name of the form-bean to a new name and change the Action which 
references this form-bean to that new name, then all works fine: the new 
properties are recognized. Which leads me to believe that somehow the form 
properties are being cached somewhere instead of being re-read from 
struts-config.xml each time the webapp is reloaded.

Any insight ?

Thanks.
