RE: Incremental Development with Orion

[Darren Gibbons]

An alternative to using Ant that still allows fast debugging is to lay out your filestructure as recommended in the application creation howto (http://www.orionserver.com/docs/application-creation-howto.html).  Store your EJBs under the <appname>-ejb folder, and to automatically redeploy, touch the ejb-jar.xml file, and then the application.xml file (the order is important) after making changes and compiling.   Orion watches those XML config files and automatically redeploys when they have been updated (or 'touch'ed).  You can write a shell or batch script to automate this process for you, which makes deployment incredibly fast.  This feature alone makes Orion worth the price of admission...   Darren.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Mike Cannon-Brookes Sent: February 17, 2001 9:09 PM To: Orion-Interest Subject: RE: Incremental Development with Orion Easy, use Ant to create a build script to build your EJB jar file, then Orion will automatically pick up that change and redeploy.   -mike -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Phan Anh Tran Sent: Sunday, February 18, 2001 3:00 PM To: Orion-Interest Subject: Incremental Development with Orion How should one setup Orion for rapid and incremental Servlets,JSP, and EJB development?  I got the Servlets and JSP setup done, but the EJB setup is still a bit iffy (thanks Faisal for your notes).  I expect our developers to develop our EJBs in a very incremental fashion, so I would like to get ideas on a setup which can support a fast code,debug,code cycle.  Thanks.
