Hello, I have been trying to get my app to auto deploy to Sun App Server 8.1 for a while now and its gettting really frustrating.

I have followed the instructions here and googled for other help and finally got my JSP’s to hot deploy. However, when I make changes to the java classes the changes are not detected/ deployed by the app server.

I have checked the autodeploy directory and can see that the class file has been updated and the time stamp changes, but no matter what I do I can’t get the app server to recognise the change. The only way I can get it to pick up the change is to restart the server or perform a complete redeployment!

Has anyone else had this problem and resolved it or am I doing something really dumb? Any help or further pointers would be greatfully accepted.

my config is as follows:
Win 2K sp4
Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.1 (build b41-fcs)
Eclipse 3.0.1 (Build id: 200409161125)
MyEclipse 3.8.4 (Build id: 200501171200-3.8.4 w/ QF2)

thanks in advancce, Colin

It was dumb – don’t forget to launch the app server in debug mode. Hot code replace only works on processes launched in debug mode 😀 – Colin.
