Deployment without earing

[ppena]

Does anyone know how to deploy a single class or JSP without have to re-ear? I am using JBoss3.0.0 with Tomcat 4.0.3. I want to be able to have one directory where I can make a quick change then test it without the re-deploying.

Thanks,
Phillip

you can create a sbrdirectory like myapp.war in the server/deploy dir.

jboss will trtet it like a war file.
beware to have at least the required structure an a minimal web.xml deployment descriptor

see my comments in http://www.jboss.org/modules/bb/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=forums/ for details

btw:

if it is ony about to be quick, why don't you write a simple script packaging your stuff together and copying it into the deploy directory

Thanks for your help. I have the server picking up the directory in the deployment directory but how do I get JBoss to re-deploy after I copy in a single class that I have changed.

Thanks,

try :

touching the top-level dd (application.xml or web.xml)
touching the top-level dir
moving the top-level dir out and back into the deploy dir
using the /jmx-console

Thanks. Touch the application.xml make JBoss redeploy the application.
