Publishing JSF web resources from a library JAR

[hwellmann.de]

There's a multi-module Maven project with a WAR module foo-web referencing a JAR foo-lib with JSF views and composite components in META-INF/resources. The project is started via Run on Server.

When editing an XHTML view resource in foo-web/src/main/webapp and reloading the browser page, the change is immediately visible.

When editing an XHTML view resource in foo-lib/src/main/resources/META-INF/resources and reloading the browser page, nothing happens.

Is there a way to make this change visible without redeploying the entire application?

I'm using Eclipse Juno SR1, JBoss Tools 4.0.0 and JBoss AS 7.1.3.

Best regards,

Harald

You have to use "Restart Module" toolbar button after server state in Servers view changed to 'Published'. Just select foo-web in Servers view an push button on toolbar (see image below)

and then refresh page.

Denis, thanks for your reply, but I don't see that button in my toolbar. Maybe that's because I only installed JBossAS Tools, not the whole lot. If so, which is the minimal set of features I need to install to make this work?

Ok, I've found the Restart Module button - I'd been looking in the Servers view toolbar, not in the main window toolbar.

But this button only lets me restart the foo-web application, not the foo-lib module (embedded in WEB-INF/lib). And this "module restart" redeploys the entire application, which is just what I'd like to avoid. Any alternatives?

Regards,

Harald
