Eclipse Seam AutoDeploy

[oblivion1200]

So far, when my javabeans changed I had to redeploy it on server using "restart" ant option. I had to wait for server to "update" files and then I could check how things work.
Sometimes it takes too long.
Today I found this article http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=EclipseSeamAutoDeploy. So it seems that is possible to have changes made to javabeans instantly visible on server without redeploying manually. I tried to do as they say in wiki but I didn't succeed.
What does "your_app.ejb3" mean? .ejb3 == .ear?

Do you use this way to deploy your projects?


Thanks

Use seam-gen, it supports hotdeploy of xhtml, and action beans

I have generated new project using seam-gen from CVS and replaced my source files.
I can edit xhtml files in eclipse, save it and the changes are visible in the browser instantly. When I do changes to session beans and save it, JBoss still sees previous version of session bean. I have to "unexplode" and "explode" or "restart" application using ant, after that all works ok. Why the updated session beans aren't visible immediately? Are there any additional configuration of JBoss / eclipse / build.xml needed?

Thanks pete, but as they say

the components must be JavaBean components, they cannot be EJB3 beans

and all my beans are stateful session beans or entity beans so I can't use it. I will wait for fixing this limiation.
