By the way, the Seam hot deploy stuff is not that useful as it is right now. Because the hot-deployed components are in a different classloader, you can't reference them from classes that are not Seam components and in a different classloader. One example would be a servlet that calls a Seam component. I also found issues with restoring if PAGE context state. In the end I found the restrictions too severe and went back to manual redeployment when I change a class. It's not that bad, at least we can change and preview XHTML/CSS immediately.
