I am using WebSphere 8.0.0.2 (ND edition) I recently migrated from version 6.1 to 8.

 After deploying a ear, to make changes I am replacing some jar files from the installed Apps folder and then recycling the server.

This used to work on WAS 6 but on WAS 8 it is not working. My changes are not reflecting even after server recycle.

I even cleared the jvm cache using the script (install root/bin/clearcache.sh)

Is WAS internally caching the class files onto the filesystem? If yes, how do i delete it?

I have 2 servers in my cluster, and I am modifying the jar in only one server. The other server is currently stopped.

Please help 
 

I found the issue. The same class was present in some other jar files which were in the class path. I removed them and resolved the issue.

Hi Rajeesh,

Can you please provide steps you took to replace classpath in jar files, as i am facing same issue but unable to figure out the steps to replace the classpaths from jar files after installing EAR

Thanks for your help
