Mike - I have 'automatic build' set with myEclipse, however, I occasionally shutdown Tomcat, do a Proect|Clean, and manually re-deploy (force a re-deploy) just to be sure the latest code is deployed to Tomcat. I've only experienced one time so far trouble with myEclipse updating the deployment directory (but I've only been using it for a month.)
Hope this helps. thanks -----Original Message----- From: Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, December 31, 2005 4:19 PM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: HURRAY!!! SORTING IS WORKING!!!! It seems that my problem was that my IDE had, for some reason, stopped updating the deployment directory even though the code would work after the changes I made thanks to all the great suggestions here. Now, at least, I have a Java problem, not a MyFaces problem. Now, I'm trying to modify the car sort example to let you sort by a column that contains strings that are integers. The code in the car sorting example won't sort strings that contain numbers in order. Thanks to all for all the terrific help and suggestions! Mike
