RE: Deployment time for lots of beans

2000-06-29 Thread Joe Walnes

 It seems that Orion is regenerating all my beans whenever I even a small
 change in the orion-ejb-jar.xml (even though as my last email said, it's
 just ignoring the changes). Is there a way around this? It's quite a
 nuisance to have to wait for several minutes while it's regenerating all
 the beans after making one simple change.

Joel, I'm not sure of a way around this, but I found the majority of the
time spent was on the ejb wrappers being compiled. Switching from javac to
jikes got my deployment time down from over 8 minutes to 15 seconds (and a
massive increase in time it takes to compile jsp's).

Jikes: http://www10.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/jikes/

To get orion to use it for compiling, add to config/server.xml:

compiler executable="/path-to/jikes"
classpath="/path-to-real-jdk/jre/lib/rt.jar" /

Thank you very much for your response. That took care of the problem
indeed. It's amazing you can get a 10-20 fold (or even more) increase in
time just by switching that.

I had looked at Jikes before, but didn't see anything about what Java
version it supported so thought it didn't support Java2--I'm glad I was
wrong.

Thanks!
