Hi,
In Wildfly upstream I am introducing a 'development mode' flag (it is actually in
Alpha3 as well, but I am going to change how it is represented in the model).
Basically the idea with this is that when this flag is set the server behaves in a way
that is much more developer friendly, but is not suitable for production use. So far the
changes are:
- Set JSP development mode
- Display stack traces in error pages. We do not do this by default for security reasons.
- Disable caching so file changes are picked up straight away
- Optionally persist session information across redeployments (still needs a little bit of
work), which should prevent a developer from having to re-log in every time they redeploy.
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for other features we could add to make
development easier?
