I suspect this is really a web module bug, but I'll let the owners sort it out. Simply, change event notifications are not being sent to JSR-88 plugins when changes are made to web.xml. Have SJSAS installed. Create a web app with a servlet. Open the config editor on sun-web.xml. Edit web.xml Change the name of the servlet. Hit <Save>. At this point, the notifyDDChange method should have been invoked to inform the sun-web configuration editor that the name of the servlet had changed. This does not happen. Note: If you rename the servlet via the right click menu on the explorer, and then in the popup dialog regarding updating the servlet-class field of web.xml, hit yes, the DConfigBean for the servlet *IS* notified of that change. Unfortunately, we're actually interested in the servlet-name field, not servlet-class :(
Maybe I had a bogus file somewhere. This is working as expected right now. Nothing to see here, move along ;)
