How to resolve the issue of JRebel’s hot deployment not taking effect on XML files?

If JRebel is not working for hot deploying XML files, there could be several reasons and solutions for this issue:

1. Make sure the XML files you want to hot deploy are correctly configured in JRebel’s configuration file, such as rebel.xml. Check that the file path and name are accurate.
2. Project configuration issue: Check the project’s build path and deployment path to ensure that XML files are correctly copied to the deployment path. Some IDEs, like Eclipse, may require manual configuration of the deployment path.
3. Caching issue: Sometimes, JRebel may cache old XML files, causing hot deployment to not take effect. You can try clearing JRebel’s cache and redeploying the project.
4. Ensure that you are using the latest version of JRebel that is compatible with the JDK version of your project. Older versions of JRebel may not support the latest JDK features or project configurations.
5. Conflict in project configuration files: Some projects may have their own mechanisms for loading configuration files, which may conflict with JRebel’s hot deployment. You can try disabling the project’s configuration file loading mechanism, or adjust the loading order to ensure JRebel’s configuration takes effect.

If none of the above methods work, you can try reaching out to JRebel’s support team for assistance by providing detailed error logs and project configuration information.
