If you use seam-gen with JBoss, you get an eclipse project that auto-deploys to an exploded directory structure. We did not yet make this work for Tomcat, and I'm not sure how well Tomcat can handle stuff like this (I find Tomcat hot-deploy extremely flakey). But if you want to try it out, use seam-gen as a starting point to see how we did it. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4007543#...
