Incremental Hot deploying and servlets

[ivicac]

I am using incremental hot deploying while developing and I have defined one servlet that is use for serving pictures. But, the problem is, it is not visible to my app server, so it can't be loaded at startup beacuse it is in dev directory. What should I use as a replacement for servlets in Seam?

[norman.richards]

Hot deploy is only for seam components. Things that need to be visible to the container directly (ejb, servlets, etc...) cannot be hot deployed.

I understand that, but is there any possibility that in hot deploying servlet and hot deployed seam component play together(my servlet calls some seam components)

You can load Seam components from the servlet deployed in WEB-INF/classes but not vice-versa.

And components can be in dev directory?
