seam-gen explode target touches .dodeploy forcing a restart, preventing hot-deployment -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-5068 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBSEAM-5068 Project: Seam 2 Issue Type: Bug Components: Hot Deploy Affects Versions: 2.3.0.Final Environment: AS 7.1.1.Final, Seam 2.3.1-SNAPSHOT (2013-01-17) Reporter: Marek Schmidt Assignee: Marek Novotny Fix For: 2.3.1.CR1 seam-gen generated explode target contains: {code} <touch file="${deploy.dir}/${project.name}.war.dodeploy"/> {code} which forces the application to restart, which makes the hot-deployment feature useless. The problem is that on AS7 at least one touch of the dodeploy is necessary, as it wouldn't deploy otherwise. One possible way to fix this could perhaps be to check for the existence of the .deployed file and touch the .dodeploy only if such file doesn't exist.
