I understand that due to JBoss' sophisticated class-loading system it's not possible to hot-deploy single classes like it is possible e. g. in tomcat. However, even when I touch the ejb-jar.xml, the EJB-archive is not reployed. touch jboss-4.2.1.GA/server/default/deploy/kportal.ear/kportal.jar/META-INF/ejb-jar.xml --> no re-deployment! why is this?
