Re: How to configure a JBoss to link to the webapp folder of a WAR project
Hi again,
Following a tip from John Newman I used this Eclipse plugin...
http://andrei.gmxhome.de/filesync/
This allows us to configure an automaed file copy operation for specific
project folders to whateve folder we want to.
So I configured the plugin to copy the webapp folder to the exploded wr
target folder ad got the JSP/CS/Images/JS files hot code replace working!
(Thans John!)
This is fine except for multi-module projects or dependant projects.
For these I still cannot get hot-code replacement for classes since they are
bundled as JARs even if the dependant projects are open in eclipsed and
wirkspace resolution is active um the Maven Eclise Plugin.
Has anyone gotten further with this approuch or a similar one?
Thanks,

Posted by Pedro Viegas <vi...@gmail.com>.
I think I know the reason...
Not Maven or Eclipse related!
My other projects were AspectJ ones. They have many aspects and these
classes are not hot replaced. I guess this is a limitation/feature of
AspectJ. :-(

Re: How to configure a JBoss to link to the webapp folder of a WAR project
Posted by Pedro Viegas <vi...@gmail.com>.
Martin... THANKS!
I tried the antiJARLocking=true like you said and the inner modules began to
work.
I now have all classes hot-code replacing fine, as long as they are of the
same eclipse project (in it's build path).
Only one little detail is missing, and it would be very handy.
Dependent projects.
Maven dependencies are linked to other projects in the workspace. It knows
it can browse the sources when in debug for instance. But, these classes are
not hot-deployed, even with the antiJARLocking set to true. Any clue? Been
trying several things to try to figure out without sucess so far...

Re: How to configure a JBoss to link to the webapp folder of a WAR project
Posted by Pedro Viegas <vi...@gmail.com>.
Many apologies!
My previous post had so many tipos I had to repost it here... Will be more
careful in the future... and type slower too! :-D
Hi again,
Following a tip from John Newman I used this Eclipse plugin...
http://andrei.gmxhome.de/filesync/
This allows us to configure an automated file copy operation for specific
project folders to whatever folder we want to.
So I configured the plugin to copy the webapp folder to the exploded war
target folder and got the JSP/CSS/Images and JS files hot code replace
working! (Thanks John!)
This is fine except for multi-module projects or dependent projects.
For these I still cannot get hot-code replacement for classes since they are
bundled as JARs even if the dependent projects are open in eclipse and
workspace resolution is active im the Maven Eclipse Plugin.
Has anyone gotten further with this approach or a similar one?
Thanks,

Walking on water and developing software
from a specification are easy if both are
frozen.
