Continuously server restarting

[jboss-nth-fan]

I've been using seam for a while. It's great.

However, one of the things that seems to slow down the development process is that any minor change in the code (even resource files) would require Tomcat to restart. - at least in my config -

I've noticed also after one of the RCs that the EJB microcont. now takes forever to load.

My environment is Eclipse 3.2, Callisto w/WTP plugin, Tomcat 5.5.x, Seam 1.0.1GA. The code is based on the DVD example.

I've search the forums but only found other cases that report slugish performance but no answer yet.

Would anything in my eclipse/wtp/Tomcat config be changed to avoid restarting the server? Any Jira issue to improve performance in EJB embeeded container?

Your suggestions/comments very much appreciated.

Consider exploded deployment, eclipse debugger hot code replace.

I suppose you mean to not use jars, and instead import the code from these into the eclipse web project ?

Which would be the JARs I would need to explode v.s. the ones I can keep as JARs?

Some I can think of:
jboss-ejb3-all.jar
jboss-seam*.jar
mc-conf.jar

Thanks for your help

Further to my question and after additional searching, I found this,

Would this then be possible??

Thanks any help appreciated..

Ok, well I use JBoss AS not Tomcat - didn't notice that detail in your post.

I use an exploded war (and consequntially an exploded ear) for altering my facelets, and eclipse hot code replace for changing methods on the fly. The hotcode is built in to eclipse. I use ant to create the exploded strucuture and have an ant task to copy across new facelets. I haven't played with the new JBoss IDE adaptor as it seems only to support local servers and mine is remote.

This HAS been discussed a few times before on this and other Forums and there are pages on the wiki so hopefully you can peice together something.
