Question

I have a java method with the original signature as follows:

public boolean sampleMethod(int num)

This is being called in a lot of jsp’s in my project. Recently, I needed to change the method signature to:

public boolean sampleMethod(long num)

With this new signature, all the method calls in my jsp’s now gives me a java.lang.NoSuchMethodError. It seems that they are still invoking the old method even if I already compiled the code. I am using Intellij IDEA 11.0.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

It looks like you still have your old war file deployed. Do the following:

1. Stop the app/web server.
2. Delete the app from the web-apps dir.
3. Start the app/web server.
4. Deploy the new war
