How to view the changes immediately after a jsp is modified?

[kammau]

Hi All,
How can I modify a JSP and view the changes immediately without packing a war and deploying again. The JSP may reference a tag library. And also, I don't want to register the compiled jsp class as servlet class in web.xml because there are hundreds of jsp files.

Then, how can I do this to save the development time. Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks!!!

Suppose you are in $JBOSSHOME/bin dir, your dev java files
are in ~<your_name>/someproject, also suppose that
jetty temp dir is in $JBOSSHOME/<jetty_tmp> dir.

Suppose you are changing file ~<your_name>/some/project/web/somedir/foo.jsp

to immediately force jasper recompilation, just do
(remember you are in $JBOSSHOME/bin dir)

cp ~<your_name>/some/project/somedir/foo.jsp ../<jetty_tmp>/Jetty_0_0_0_0_<your_port_number>__<your_web_appName>/webapp/somedir/.

That should do the trick.
