You shouldnt even need to restart the server in this situation. Just restarting the application should be necessary. Simply touch the descriptors by the "touch" button and possibly change the autodeploy delay to 0 seconds to get even faster turn around. Btw. if you used New Seam Entity wizard we does this automatically (i.e. touch the descriptors to cause restart of the application) View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4221028#...
