Quick deployment during development

[rmemoria]

Hi,

Does anybody know how can I speed up deployment during development of a SEAM app?

Everytime I make small changes in my app I have to redeploy the app and wait for about 30 seconds to check changes.

When it's a new entity (for instance) in the app it's reasonable to redeploy the whole app, but sometimes it's a small change in a page.

I tryed to remove the WAR from the EAR and deploy the WAR alone, but I got an exception that the org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamRedirectFilter was not found.

Any tip or direction is wellcome!!!

Thanks,
Ricardo Memória

I use an exploded ear format (note I'm using JBoss AS). If I make web resource changes, I copy them over to the exploded war directory and the changes are immediate. If I make a java source change, I compile it and copy them over to the appropriate exploded directory, and then do touch on application.xml to force a re-deployment. I use ANT for all this stuff.

seam-gen sets all this stuff up for you.

Yes... I was using netbeans and I've never tried seam-gen before.

Now I'm moving my project to Eclipse...

Thanks
