Refactoring for Java ee web apps for example renaming a page name , is not done well by most ides like e.g netbeans , where I observe that the renaming (refactoring) (in this example) does not reflect the change of that name in other parts of the applicaion . eg. in froms and other pages that have links to the renamed page.
(this is contrary to normal .java files.) Is my observation correct? and what is the solution if so? Thats my usuall practice for .java files. but thats not the case with .jsp or html or other files , even I rename (refactor) a .java file. its not reflected in .jsp . html files. I have alot of files pointing to that renamed file… then what
well how to properly reafactor in the first place. do tell me
Global search and replace is the last thing I and most devs want to do
If your IDE doesn’t support it you’re limited to normal file-based search-and-replace.
(IntelliJ, for example, finds non-code usages of strings in HTML, XML, etc. files.)
