1. Re: Jsp without deploying...
feizal Jan 23, 2002 12:26 AM (in response to paularundel)Hi Guys,
Its really frustrating to redeploy war file after making a minor change to my JSP.
I am using Jboss2.4.4-Catalina4.0.1. I didn't have this **ANNOYING*** problem with Jboss2.2-Tomcat3.2.3.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Someone please help.

If you didn't have the problem with JBoss 2.2 how did you have it set up?

tbesser Jan 23, 2002 10:09 AM (in response to paularundel)When using Tomcat 3, we were deploying in development by copying everything directly to a Tomcat 'webapps/XXX' directory. Took the build only seconds to update JSPs. Clearly repackaging would take a lot longer.
This approach didn't work when we upgraded to JBoss with Tomcat 4 (or Jetty 3.1.3, to which we've switched) Here we took advantage of the 'unpackaged' deployment option of JBoss 2.4.4. Instead of using 'webapps/XXX' under Tomcat/Jetty, you deploy to a JBoss 'deploy/XXX.war' directory. (Note that XXX.war is a DIRECTORY, not a WAR file). This accomplishes the same. -

joshco Jan 26, 2002 3:12 AM (in response to paularundel)Can someone elaborate on the XXX.war/ directory
unpackaged deployment ?
I created a directory in ../deploy/foo.war/ and tried
to drop JSPs into it. Is there something else I need to do?
I have bought the book, but it doesnt seem to have a
good simple walkthrough for running a simple JSP
file without a whole package deployment. -

joshco Jan 27, 2002 11:28 AM (in response to paularundel)I'm a relative newbie to J2EE. Im attempting to move
some of my applications from Microsoft's platform to J2EE. I wanted to quickly move some ASPs to JSP
and play with JDBC, etc..
Specifically, I wanted to know how to get JBOSS
running and just drop a JSP file in place to run it.
This wasn't easy to figure out from the JBOSS documentation since a bunch of stuff about application
deployment/packaging seems ot be defined by the J2EE
spec, and not included in the JBOSS docs.
Anyway, if you are in a similar situation, this
quick howto may help you set up a simple JSP
with JBOSS without taxing too many brain cells....
