Jboss Auto deploy after compile the class files...

[praveen.cheedella]

Hi All

I am using Jboss-3.2.0. I need to restart the server everytime after I made changes to the class files.

Is there any auto deploy of the class files? so that when ever I made changes in the class file it should automatically deploy, without any restart of the server.

Please help me in this regard.

Thanks in advance
Praveen.

you need to "touch" the deployment descriptor

hmmm interesting. touch -a filename.jar or something else? I'm with the 'verycool' guy on the subject.

Thanks

sorry I misread your first post.

Yes, you can just touch the jar.

$ touch myapp.jar

This will change the timestamp to the current time.

What I was suggesting earlier applies if you deploy an exploded archive.

Thank you very much , i will test this and inform you, but, one different thing that i deploy my ear. so when i touch my ear .......

If the archive that you are deploying has been recreated with later classes / jars you should not need to touch it as it would already have a later modified time anyway.

If your build process is not updating the modified time of the jar / ear it is likely that the archive is not being updated with the later classes.

praveen.cheedella, where are you putting the jar that should contain the updated classes? Is it a jar containing ejb components or is it just a jar of classes that you are using?

Once again Thanks guys!!...

Hi ltexier,
I will try with the url given by you and let you know..

Hi darranl

I have created the .ear folder in the jboss/server/default/deploy/
path. All my working .jar and .war folders are there in .ear folder.
When ever I change any action class in the .jar folder my server needs to restart to reflect those changes.

All my action classes are there in the same working folder itself .

Thanks & Regards
Praveen.

You can use ANT to "touch" your files.
There is a touch task in ANT.

Praveen, Ok this means that the file you need to be touching is the application.xml for the ear, when JBoss sees that this file has been updated it will redeploy your application.
