Re: How to configure a JBoss to link to the webapp folder of a WAR project
I think I know the reason... Not Maven or Eclipse related! My other projects were AspectJ ones. They have many aspects and these classes are not hot replaced. I guess this is a limitation/feature of AspectJ. :-( On Tue, Sep 2, 2008 at 2:50 PM, Pedro Viegas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Martin...

Re: How to configure a JBoss to link to the webapp folder of a WAR project
Martin... THANKS! I tried the antiJARLocking=true like you said and the inner modules began to work. I now have all classes hot-code replacing fine, as long as they are of the same eclipse project (in it's build path). Only one little detail is missing, and it would be very handy. Dependent projects. Maven dependencies are linked to other projects in the workspace. It knows it can browse the sources when in debug for instance. But, these classes are not hot-deployed, even with the antiJARLocking set to true. Any clue? Been trying several things to try to figure out without sucess so far...

Re: How to configure a JBoss to link to the webapp folder of a WAR project
Many apologies! My previous post had so many tipos I had to repost it here... Will be more careful in the future... and type slower too! :-D Hi again, Following a tip from John Newman I used this Eclipse plugin... http://andrei.gmxhome.de/filesync/ This allows us to configure an automated file copy operation for specific project folders to whatever folder we want to. So I configured the plugin to copy the webapp folder to the exploded war target folder and got the JSP/CSS/Images and JS files hot code replace working! (Thanks John!) This is fine except for multi-module projects or dependent projects. For these I still cannot get hot-code replacement for classes since they are bundled as JARs even if the dependent projects are open in eclipse and workspace resolution is active im the Maven Eclipse Plugin. Has anyone gotten further with this approach or a similar one?

Re: How to configure a JBoss to link to the webapp folder of a WAR project
Hi Siarhei, Thanks for the tip. I haven't explored the WTP project before, only read about it very briefly. I will try this approach, even though it will surely force me to change a bit of my deployment and modules to comply to some rules I have read on the site. One question though, why did it put the m2eclipse plug in aside? Woudn't it help in the process? Are they incompatible? WTP projects and M2Projects projects I mean? I've been using the m2eclipse for some time and aside for a few bugs i got used to work arround i'm quite happy with it. Your experience (good or bad) would be appreciated to help me weight my options.

Re: How to configure a JBoss to link to the webapp folder of a WAR project
Hi again, Following a tip from John Newman I used this Eclipse plugin... http://andrei.gmxhome.de/filesync/ This allows us to configure an automaed file copy operation for specific project folders to whateve folder we want to. So I configured the plugin to copy the webapp folder to the exploded wr target folder ad got the JSP/CS/Images/JS files hot code replace working! (Thans John!) This is fine except for multi-module projects or dependant projects. For these I still cannot get hot-code replacement for classes since they are bundled as JARs even if the dependant projects are open in eclipsed and wirkspace resolution is active um the Maven Eclise Plugin. Has anyone gotten further with this approuch or a similar one?

Re: How to configure a JBoss to link to the webapp folder of a WAR project
Hi, It pretty much 'just works'. I have a multi module eclipse (Eclipse Europa version) projects with WTP 2 enabled in the maven-eclipse-plugin configuration. No m2eclipse plugin (tried it - but put it aside) - just maven-eclipse-plugin. Just download sources of maven-eclipse-plugin - it has several test projects that can give you an idea for configuring your projects. JBoss Tools is built on top of WTP 2 and does exploded deployment right to JBoss hot deploy directory.

Re: How to configure a JBoss to link to the webapp folder of a WAR project
By the way... one more thing... There is also the option of using the: mvn war:inplace This should solve all my problems... except that I cannot change the webapp folder to webapp.war! And since the webapp folder does not terminate with a ".war" extension JBoss does not deploy it. Tries to but issues a "deployer: null" error message, since it does not have a deployer for null extension files. Am I barking at the wrong tree here?

Re: How to configure a JBoss to link to the webapp folder of a WAR project
Hi David, Sorry for to confusing post. I'll try to explain better. I have hot deployment in place. It is working, just not in the best way. What I have suceeded so far: I have setup JBoss deploy URLs to search my ${maven.project}/target/{projectWAR} I deploy using mvn war:exploded so I don't have to wait for the compression phase. For JBoss to accept a dir like a WAR (that does not end in .war - maven's notation), I have configured the war plugin to create the exploded dir with ".war" sufix. Like so... maven-war-plugin ${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}.war And this is what I have. All java classes get hot replaced by JBoss Eclipse plugin OK. JSP's are not! To refresh JSP after I change them I issue a mvn war:exploded each time I want to. This is the best I got so far. It's not a bad solution. It takes only a few seconds for the projecto to refresh the JSP. BUT this is a bit workarround and having to set this up for each project... Anyone has a better aprouch?

Hi Siarhei, I too use JBoss tools and Eclipse Plugin. How did you set this up? Thanks, On Thu, Jul 10, 2008 at 8:08 PM, Siarhei Dudzin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > What's wrong with JBoss Tools?

Re: How to configure a JBoss to link to the webapp folder of a WAR project
Hello Pedro, I'm not sure by your statements if you are using a HOT deploy or not. In the case you are using a hot deploy try using an exploded war under server/default/deploy and see if you see any difference. The JSPs are compiled by the container once they are invoked at the browser. As an experiment: create a second virtual JBoss (4.2.1/4.2.2) server on a port like 8989 that deploys a single JSP and see if you can get it to recompile. There are instructions int the JBoss /examples directory on how to do this. HTH, David.

What's wrong with JBoss Tools? We use maven-eclipse-plugin + JBoss Tools, works well so far...
