dynamically add change xhtml pages

[ajanz]

i got a seam app. i want my customers to dynamically add/change xhtml pages without deploying the whole project, instead simply add or change an xhtml in a specific directory.

is there a way to do that?

That depends on how the app server handles hot-deployments.  Here's what we do with JBoss on our developer workstations:

• Use an exploded WAR deployment.


• Make sure the deployment scanner is running.


• Copy the xhtml files from the source tree to the exploded directory in the JBoss server tree.

We have a little ANT target that does the last part.

I am having same problem, but a little different:

- Simple 'Web Dynamic project' created in Eclipse works fine.
  Modified index.html gets replicated to C:\Java\jboss-5.1.0.Beta1\server\default\deploy\webProj.war\ (exploded war folder) and refreshing the page in browser displays the change.

- Simple 'Seam Web Project' created in Eclipse won't work.
  Modified index.html is copied say to C:\Java\jboss-5.1.0.Beta1\server\default\deploy\seamProj.war\ as above, but JBoss server runs project from TMP\<...> folder, e.g. C:\Java\jboss-5.1.0.Beta1\server\default\tmp\<...5c4o2...>\seamProj.war\

Is there any way to force JBoss to use default/deploy folder or tell it to synchronize from it?
