This thread is old, but I still had the same problem, using eclipse and WebSphere.

One place to check is this. If you use JSF files with the .xhtml ending, you have to make sure that changes in these do not trigger automatic republishing.

1. In the tab "Servers" double-click on your server.
2. Open the "Publishing settings for WebSphere Application Server"
3. Click on "Set Advanced Publishing Settings...".
4. In the "List of file extensions that do not trigger the server to publish ..." insert or append ", *.xhtml".
5. Close these settings and restart the server.

In web.xml I have also added a parameter with the name javax.faces.PROJECT_STAGE and the value Development , which may have an influence on the offending behavior.
