avoid rebuild on deploy

[a_leger]

Hi all,

i'm new on JBoss3.0,

i've got a couple of questions about deployment :

- Does anyone know how JBoss3.0 deployer works (a schema will be welcome)?

- I can't found any implementation classes after an application deployment (implementation of CMP2.0 Entities bean etc...)!
Where does Jboss hide them ??
Does an option exist to keep them to avoid rebuilding on each server starts ???

thx
A.L.

yes, several people know how it works. If you want to see for yourself, start at MainDeployer. Basically there are 2 steps, first unpack everything in sight and add it to the classpath, then process whatever dd you find with the appropriate deployer (eg. SARDeployer for mbeans, EJBDeployer for ejbs, etc.) A schema won't do you much good, even if you want to spend the time making one for yourself.

Following the lead of the dynamic proxies, (i.e. "no code generation/compilation"), the deployer dynamically generates bytecode to implement the abstract methods and I believe loads it directly without saving it to a .class file
