Facelets xhtml "hot reload" doesn't work if the application directory is out of "deploy" directory -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-8724 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-8724 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Deployers Reporter: Salvatore Insalaco Fix For: TBD In JBoss EAP 5 the facelets hot-xhtml-deploy has been fixed (if you modify a facelets xhtml file it reloads automatically), and it works if the exploded war/ear is inside the deploy directory. Unfortunately it doesn't work if the exploded war/ear is deployed externally from the deploy directory, using JMX (like JetBrains IntelliJ Idea IDE does). It worked in JBoss EAP 4.3.
