<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>konrad,</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Our AS 7 adapter is still evolving so your input is appreciated.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>To explain why AS7 adapter works like it does right now then 99% of the logic is based of how the previous jboss adapters worked and here we did explicitly decided not to trigger redeploys of applications on class changes because of two things:</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>1) restart the app could be a rather heavy operation in previous AS versions</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>2) if you are editing/saving multiple class files you would trigger multiple restarts for no real good reason.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>3) when you restart you loose the session context thus making live debugging almost impossible.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>#1 is not relevant anymore, but 2 & 3 still is but im open for suggestions <span> ;) </span></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>...so back to your questions:</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Concern 1:</p><p>We deploy archives content exploded by default and then its up to the runtime frameworks to pick up changes (thats what you see happen when (x)html resources are picked up - thats us just copying over incrementally and then its jboss web and jsf fwk that picks up the changes).</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>You can (since JBoss Tools M2 I believe) right click on a module to trigger a restart.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>That gives a pretty nice balance IMO, but i'm sure you are about to give me examples of where its not - let me know <span> :) </span></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Concern 2:</p><p>If I understand you correctly here then you want all deployments that have a transitive dependency to a project to repackage.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>I can see the usecase for that but haven't seen other adapters do this. Are you saying Tomcat 7 adapter does that ?</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>p.s. Rob that works on the incremental deployment aspect adapter is on PTO at the moment - but i'll answer/find what I can <span> ;) </span></p></div>
