JRebel doesn't update HTML

Question

I'm using JRebel 5.0.0 in Intellij IDEA (Leda preview, 122.746) with JRebel plug-in. The server is GlassFish v3.1. My application uses Wicket, with HTML templates placed in the same place as classes.

The problem is that updated classes do successfully reload after project rebuild, but updated HTMLs do not. For instance, I can add an element both to the page class and to the HTML, and then get an exception from Wicket saying that this element is referenced in the code, but absent in the markup.

Updated HTML resources and recompiled classes end up in the same directory (which I've checked), this directory is present in rebel.xml (and this setup is valid because recompiled classes are indeed updated).

What might be the problem?

Answer 1

Well, that was completely my fault, and kind of a stupid one.

I just haven't noticed a <wicket:extend> tag in the edited HTML, so my updates ended up ignored.

HTML refresh does actually work, everything runs smoothly even without clearing markup cache (thanks to a Wicket plug-in).
