Convenient way to test self-developed portlets?

[tschmidt2]

Hello,

this is what I'm currently doing to test my porlets:
-compile
-shut down JBoss AS
-copy file
-startup JBoss AS
-refresh browser window

an alternative approach I tried was to keep the server up while overwriting the file, create a new instance and assign it to the page. Besides the fact that this isn't much faster at all, it does not work :)

Any best practices on portlet testing ?

Thanks
Thorsten

Include a web.xml file in your portlet's WEB-INF directory. Touch the web.xml file (put in a space and save it). JBoss AS will hot deploy (reload) your your portlet for you.

Thank you very much, that works perfect.
