ops sorry I didn't read correclty your question: so you don't want even to reload your ear... Go to http://localhost:8080/jmx-console/ 1. see section jboss.web 2. click on host=localhost,path=/Test,type=Loader (here Test is web application name) 3. make reloadable attribute’s value = true 4. click on "Apply Changes" button 5. you will see INFO [StandardContext] Reloading this Context has started message displayed in jboss console. ...well I have tested this but only with a .war module, not with an .ear Let me know if it works.
