I have used this before, but it doesn't really achieve everything I want. It's nice to be able to deploy with using scp to install the single .WAR file on the remote system. Doing this type of thing with an exploded .WAR is much harder, as JBoss will detected and begin deployment before every

Hi David, you can try out www.jconfig.org. It's got what you are looking for. They will release a new version within the next days. HTH Andreas - Original Message - From: "David Corbin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "JBoss User" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, March 23, 2003 11:48 PM Subje

Yup. Jboss is sure neat hu? Doing development this was saves quite a few cycles. No wasted time in unnecessary jar'ing and unjar'ing. Ant or Maven will just copy the files that have been changed. Touch the dir, or web.xml or whatever to reload. Fun stuff! -James On Sun, 2003-03-23 at 21:07

I don't really know much about the web engines (jetty and tomcat), and they may handle this differently, but for anything else in jboss you can deploy it "exploded" or unpacked. So, for example, instead of a zip file myapp.ear, you have a directory myapp.ear with exactly the same contents. You ca

So far, I'm able to do all my automated testing without having to deploy to JBoss.Your suggestion is not without merit, but I'm hoping some others will say my original idea isn't too far out there:) Ryan Hoegg wrote: MBeans are lighter weight than EJBs imho, but are still a heavyweight

Re: [JBoss-user] Feature Request

2003-03-23 Thread Ryan Hoegg
MBeans are lighter weight than EJBs imho, but are still a heavyweight solution. JBoss uses log4j, which uses a properties file or XML file for its configuration. However, you can go into your jmx-console and use the Log4jService to reconfigure log4j. I am not sure how they did this, but I th

2003-03-23 Thread David Corbin
I'm not very educated on EJBs (in any form), but I tend to resist them as they make automated testing a lot more complex. And, often the configuration is for a piece of code that I don't have control of (i.e, a third party library that relies on a properties file, or an XML file of some sort).
