Hot Deployment Settings

[brianz]

Is there a configuation setting anywhere that always allows hot deployment of new code? I've noticed that hot deployment of code always works if no one is accessing the JBoss server at the time of deployment. However, if someone is using EJBs, the Tomcat server must be rebooted because subsequent users will not able to access the JBOSS server. I believe this should work the other way. Anybody currently accessing JBOSS s/b booted out while subsequent users s/b allowed to access the server using the new code. This is for a non-clustered, single JBOSS server environment.

what happens in the above scenario? do you get ClassCastExceptions?

[brianz]

Yes, ClassCastException.
