When the server requires restarting

The following subtopics describe different situations where you might need to restart the test server.

Changes to server configuration

If you make any changes to the server or the server configuration while the server is running, for example, if you change the port number, you need to restart the server. However, you only need to republish if you enable or disable the Universal Test Client.

Changes to JSP, HTML, graphic and non-Java files

If you make any changes to a JSP file, HTML file, GIF file, JPG file or similar resource and save the file while the server is running, you will need to republish to the server since it runs off a copy of the file in the Servers project folder, not the original in the workspace.

Changes to Java files

If you have enabled hot code replace in debug mode, changes to Java classes will be automatically recognized. Otherwise, you need to republish to the server.
