Re: [undertow-dev] Undertow development mode
First off Stuart - can I give you a hug ? This is awesome!
How is this flag set ? it should be do able via a startup flag and not require to invoke
some management operation after the startup to be really useful.
i.e. --dev command line flag.
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
Great - so this means Wildfly will recompile .jsp files when changed, correct ? Anything
else ?
- Display stack traces in error pages. We do not do this by default
for security reasons.
Cool.
- Disable caching so file changes are picked up straight away
Okey - haven't really noticed caching happening in the past though (except when VFS
was put in front of seam ear's in AS5 days).
- 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.
AWESOME x infinity!
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for other features we could
add to make development easier?
JSF/facelets have a development mode too if I recall? maybe that makes sense too ?
