Classloading question

[seanoc30]

preceeding two topics appear to be hosed.

Anyway, is there any difference in the way the JBoss classloaders treat exploded and zipped ears.
Would the mechanisms for hot/re-deploy be the same?

Thanks,

Sean.

The difference is which timestamp we watch to trigger redeployment, zip file or deployment descriptor

just as a side note.

when I wrote the first class loaders,

1- the way the classloader works is load from an URL so they treat classes re hot/re deploy the same

2- the difference is the timestamp that is monitored in the packaged case it is jar package itself in the directory case it is one of the xml files
