Temporary Directories in WebLogic 10

Whenever, WL is stopped it doesn't delete its temporary directories .. i.e.

domains/mydomain/servers/myserver/tmp/_WL_TEMP_APP_DOWNLOADS

/domains/mydomain/servers/myserver/tmp/_WL_user/ /domains/mydomain/servers/myserver/stage

and because of this, when we deploy new application, it doesn't deploy some JSP or some classes and it keeps the old version of those files. resulting in lots of business errors + runtime error.

Is it a known issue ? How can we tackle it?

In general WL will cache your deployment and won't redeploy unless it is asked to. But it depends on how you deployed your application and if the server is in production or development mode. See development deployments and production deployments.

One easy fix, go to the /domains/mydomain/servers/myserver/ directory and delete:

  • tmp
  • cache
  • logs

and leave the data and security directory. Then restart. This will force WL to redeploy.

My original answer included a delete of the data directory but as @g-demecki and @j23 point out below, that can mess up an admin server. I believe it is OK to delete the data directory on a managed server.
