that's pretty cool, I would suggest you to send this email to the user mailing list also, and add a page to the plugin registry:
http://cwiki.apache.org/S2PLUGINS/home.html The configuration reloading is pretty fast, we have had it under certain conditions for a while and nobody has complained about being too slow, so I wouldn't worry about it. musachy 2009/9/23 Sander Sõnajalg <san...@zeroturnaround.com>: > Hi! > > I have finished implementing the Struts2 plugin for JRebel, the JVM agent > that enables dynamic class reloading for the Java platform. The plugin is > basically responsible for reloading the Struts2 action mappings when the XML > configuration files have changed or when the action classes that define > mappings through annotations are added/reloaded. Together with class > reloading, this should provide support for Struts2 webapp development > without nearly no redeploys. The details are covered here: > > http://www.zeroturnaround.com/jrebel/plugins/jrebel-struts2-plugin/ > > I just thought maybe someone of you has interest/enthusiasm to check it out > prior to the official release.
