Is there a way to edit a JSP without forcing a webapp restart?

[sboscarine]

Hello,

I have UI developers working in JSP (it's an old application) for a very large application that takes a full 2 minutes a lot of CPU time to restart.

Is there a way to:

• deploy an exploded ear with an exploded war in it (managed to do that successfully)
• edit JSPs in the wars
• see the result without reloading the entire application?

In EAP 6.0.1, when I use:

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:deployment-scanner:1.1">
    <deployment-scanner path="deployments" relative-to="jboss.server.base.dir" scan-interval="5000" auto-deploy-exploded="false"/>
</subsystem>

No reload occurs, but when I have to restart manually to view the pages.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

all you are missing is enabling "development" mode for jbossweb.

add

<jsp-configuration development="true" />

to your web subsystem configuration

Hello! If you are using Eclips IDE, you can install FileSynch plugin for synchronisation files. For deploy an exploded using Eclips IDE go to Window - Server - Rintime Environment and add jboss server, also you can write your own script which will do it.
