Subject: RE: Orion 1.3.8 and
Servlets
Actually, in orion-web.xml (located in
/orion/application-deployments/app_name/web_app_name/orion-web.xml) there is a
setting for development..which you said. But also there is another option,
called source-directory="/path/dir" and when development="true" every time you
save the file, Orion will auto-reload your web-app for you (and I don't think
it shows you this in its output window..but maybe it does). I have not been
able to see this work, mostly because if ANY of your HttpSession objects do
not implement Serializable, it wont' work for some reason. Our code is jacked
up enough where we do not do it right. Anyways, Orion and Resin are the only
two servlet engines (Orion being a full J2EE app server too) that auto-reload
your entire app, even if you change code in a "core" class. Most app servers
and servlet engines reload only servlets and/or JSPs/javabeans, not core
classes, and so on. Just make sure when you deploy to production your turn
development off ("false"). In the /docs folder, look at
orion-web.xml.html..it will explain this to you.
If you 'touch' any of the configuration files for your
application (eg, web.xml), then Orion will reload that app. I use an ant
build script which after installing the app, uses the touch task to force
Orion to reload.

Subject: Orion 1.3.8 and Servlets
Guys,
I have this small problem with my servlets..
whenever I make changes to them and recompile them, I have
to
restart my orion for the changes to take effect..
I know there
is a development mode which auto
compiles the files but I suppose
that only applies
to JSP's ?
so what I would like to know is whether it is possible to
compile
servlets and have the changes take effect
immediately without having to
restart, kinda like
installing a new .ear or .war file.
sincerely,
Arjan Wijnveen
