Hi, our team has figured out how to implement hot-code replace for java files, using an exploded deployment. However, editing JSPs still requires a redeploy and server start/stop.

How can we configure our project to either hot-code-replace or auto-deploy the JSP when saved?

What type of a project are you deploying?

[plamborne]

It’s a J2EE project. There’s a EJB .jar and a webapp .war rolled up into a .ear file. When exploded, the web stuff is under
[Jboss]/deploy/exploded_ear/exploded_war/

We are not using any special launch configuration, and we are using the built-in JBoss4.x server. We set the Default Output Folder under Java Build Path to point at the exploded Jar directory under JBoss and hot-code replace for those classes is working great. Now we just need to get the JSPs to do the same.

plamborne,
If you create a new Web Project and deploy it to the JBoss server, do the JSP changes get deployed on their own?

Yes, that does work. Our project is a large, legacy struts project that is laid out quite a bit differently from the default web project. I understand that you probably only support the default web project layout. At least I have something to look at as a guide, so thanks for that. I’ll post back if I find some silver bullet…

That is correct. We only support the default project layout.
