I'm trying to reload app.war directory which is inside my app.ear.

According to documentation touching WEB-INF/web.xml would reload wepapp, but inside a ear it doesn't work.

Touching ear's META-INF/application.xml reloads whole application, but with 50+ EJB's it takes too long. Most of the time, there is no need to reload EJB's, only webapp.

I tried also invoke MBeans with ant, but that didn't deregister servlets.

Is there something I'm missing here?
