RE: question about tapestry

In Tapestry terms, you need to reset the Tapestry cache of templates and specifications, which is
easy enough to do.  The hard part is any changed classes in WEB-INF/classes.  Those are hard to pick
up ... out of the web application's control. This is a worse problem as we transition to annotations
and away from XML.
 
Free yourself from JSP thinking.  With moderate effort; storing templates and specs on the file
system is the default, but not an absolute. You can certainly get this kind of data out of a
database.  And if your new modules are just re-arrainging and re-configuring existing fragments,
then your in even better shape.

Subject: question about tapestry


hi howard, 
 
i have a bit of an advanced question in re tapestry and web frameworks in general.  since tapestry
seems to be a bit more of a pardigm shift for web app frameworks, i thought that you & the tapestry
developers might find this interesting....  sorry to intrude. 
 
does tapestry have the abilty to hot deploy 'sub-components' of a web app?  say for a web app
 
-tomcat
---webapps
-------mywebapp
------------module1
------------module2
------------module3
------------WEB-INF
....
 
needed: the ability to redeploy module3 while the entire webapp is running.  do you see what i mean?
 
if you or the tapestry developers have ever seen something like this, than please let me know.
otherwise, if i write it myself, i can always donate it to tapestry if you all are interested in
something like this.  it would not be tapestry specific although, would work for any old web app. 
 
thx
