Thanks, loading new classes works correctly. Although, I was hoping for more like the ability to hot deploy class/method signature changes as well as new classes. Straight web apps in a war can handle this type of change, but it doesn't seem that the ear will do it.... for now I am getting by with a combination of the hot deploy and eclipse hot swap to do most of the work... But I still need to stop the server and redeploy for signature changes.. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3983437#...
