WAR Deployment

[sk4567]

Hi,
Upon deployment a WAR in jboss 3.2 the war archive dows not get extracted by the container.hence,when we make any subsequent changes to JSP's we have to carry out he entire procedure of adding the changed file to the WAR..which gets re-deployed...doesnt this beat the whole purpose of JSP's being easily changable...is there any solution to this...?any suggestions would help..
Also since im using struts..the entire struts.jar gets re-deployed which uses a lot of time....
can anyone sugggest anything wherein the struts.jar downst get re-deployed every time..

thanks,
Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,

have you tried unpacked deployment for development? Just put the contents of the war-file in a folder whose name ends with '.war'. This allows you to change single JSPs without redeploying the complete web-app. If you need to redeploy the web application, you can do that by touching WEB-INF/web.xml.
