Hello,
I finally got my appfuse project (jsf basic archetype) working with
jetty:run such that both java code and jsp changes are (semi-)instantly
picked
up by jetty. I did not find anything in the way of a step by step tutorial
on how to do this.
Since getting this very useful result took some finagling
I figured I'd post the steps... Perhaps this could be the seed of an
official tutorial...
<Note: these instructions assume you are using Eclipse.>
1. create your project shell.
2. run mvn install
3. Just for kicks run mvn jetty:run now. Note that this will fail.
You have not packaged all of the stuff that jetty will need
in src/main/webapp which is where jetty:run is looking for classes
and resources.
4. run mvn war:inplace
Now jetty:run will work and you can see the results of any .jsp
modifications you do. This is useful, but when you change java source
code you will find that jetty does not recognize these changes and hot
deploy
them. Changing a java file >does< seem to result in jetty bouncing
itself..
But even so, it does not pick up the modifications made to the java
class files
(which at this point the class files are still being dumped into
target/classes/... )
5. In order to cause your java file changes to be recognized by jetty you
need to modify your Eclipse build path by doing the following.
remove <projectRoot>/src/main/webapp from the java build path
(if you don't Eclipse will complain about the nesting of one source
path within another).
change your Default output folder to
<projectRoot>/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF
(In Eclipse, right click on the project, select properties. then select
'Java Build Path'
from the left hand menu tree.) Then select the Source tab on the Java
Build Path dialog
box)
6. After you do this jetty might start crashing and failing to find things.
Do one more ' mvn war:inplace ' after this (to kind of clearn things
up.)
After this point you should be able to see your java code changes get
recognized nice and quickly by jetty. Very convenient !
Before I started using appfuse I never could get jetty working with maven.
Thanks to Matt
and the other appfuse developers for making this framework available.
