This section describes steps you can take
to improve the performance when developing WebFacing applications
within the Eclipse workbench.
- Close any projects that are not currently in use or being developed
to prevent them from being re-built unnecessarily. Only open them
if necessary. From the Navigator view, right click the project and
select Close Project.
- Show the heap status and run garbage collection on demand. From
the Window menu, select Preferences
> General > Show heap status. Click the garbage can icon
at the bottom of the workbench to run the garbage collector.
- To eliminate unnecessary server publishing activity while making
changes to an application, set WebSphere® Application
Server to not publish automatically. Double-click the server instance
in the Servers view, expand Publishing,
and select Never publish automatically. Note
that if you do this, you have to manually click Publish each
time you want to publish.
By default, all WebFacing projects have their JSP Compilation
and Validation builders turned off. This improves the overall performance
of WebFacing projects in the Eclipse workbench. If you write new JSPs
for your project or want resources validated, such as XML files, you
may want to turn these builders on so that you can see any errors
that exist in these files. Steps to turn builders on or off for a
WebFacing project are described below.
If you want to further
improve the conversion and deployment performance of a WebFacing project,
particularly when dealing with large number of DDS members, follow
these steps:
