Updating tapestry templates without redeploying in Eclipse JBoss IDE

[John Hendrikx <hj...@xs4all.nl>]

I'm new to Tapestry, and I'm currently trying to evaluate it for a 
project.  I've managed to get the examples to work, and I've ran through 
a few tutorials.

The problem I'm having is that I need to repackage and then redeploy a 
.war file to JBoss for each and every modification I make to the 
templates.  What I want however is that changes to the files are 
detected automatically and a simple browser refresh shows the new 
results.  It doesn't have to work with a .war file (only final 
deployment will use a .war file, during development I'm more interested 
in convience).

One of the tutorials mentions that it is possible to have Tapestry not 
cache it's templates by specifying a vm parameter:

-Dorg.apache.tapestry.disable-caching=true

However, specifying this for my JBoss launch in Eclipse doesn't have an 
effect.  I assume this is because the entire context is stored in the 
.war file, which of course won't change if I edit a file in Eclipse.

If I use only Tomcat, I can get this to work, however I would like to be 
able to do this with the JBoss + Tomcat combination. 

So far, I checked the last 6 months of this mailinglist, googled for 
several hours and read various boards, but I'm no closer to a solution.  
I suspect it must be possible to put somekind of .xml file in the JBoss 
deploy folder, and have this .xml file point directly to my Eclipse 
workspace (just like you can do with Tomcat), but so far I've been 
unable to find anything about this.  Does anyone have any ideas or tips 
I might look into to get this to work?

To allow deploying a directory, edit
c:/jboss-3.2.5/server/default/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat50.sar/server.xml.
In particular, the <Host> element should set like:

     <Host name="localhost"
           autoDeploy="true" deployOnStartup="true" deployXML="true">

Then put your .xml files (context descriptors) into 
c:/jboss-3.2.5/server/default/conf/jboss.web/localhost.

To pass the JVM parameter to tomcat, edit 
c:/jboss-3.2.5/bin/run.bat to set JAVA_OPTS at the
begining:

set JAVA_OPTS=-Dorg.apache.tapestry.disable-caching=true
