Dilip Ford [http://community.jboss.org/people/dilipl] created the discussion "Dynamic Deployment of a jar within a EAR/WAR" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/569679#569679 -------------------------------------------------------------- For development purposes, I want to be able to "hot" deploy a jar within my EAR (The jar is contained in the WEb-INF/lib of the WAR within this EAR). The creation of the ear is a very complicated process and most times we are justchanging this jar. I have deployed the app in the exploded format (in the deploy dir and tried various things to no avail. I have to restart the server for jboss to pick up these changes. 1) I tried replacing the jar (in web-inf/lib) and touching both and either of web.xml and application.xml. I get an error indicating "deployment failed" if the contents of the jar have changed 2) I tried using JMX by undeploying the app first, then copying the jar and deploying again. I get the same error. We use Jboss 4.2. Any ideas? -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/569679#569679] Start a new discussion in JBoss AS Development Deployment Framework at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
