Is hot swap possible in JBoss4?

[kevinstembridge]

Hi,
Can JBoss be configured to 'hot swap' classes?

My apologies if this question is already answered in some obvious place. 30 minutes searching the forum, wiki and Google didn't turn up a definitive answer but maybe its just me. :)

Cheers,
Kevin

There were some discussions recently about getting code within classes to be replaced when debugging with Eclipse, I can't remember the outcome on if this worked or not.

JBoss does support hot deployment, this means if you replace a deployed archive in the deploy folder the old deployment will be undeployed and the new one will be deployed making use of the updated classes that it contains.
