We've recently added swank server to our production machines - we generally start/stop it as needed via an admin console - mostly for live in-process debugging but we have, very occasionally, applied live fixes. As Jay and Phil said, not for the faint of heart and not as a replacement for your normal release process. The in-process debugging has proved incredibly valuable for us as we've gone thru a massive data migration and this allows us to easily repro and analyze unexpected behavior that arises from bad/legacy data that have slipped thru our automated and manual QA processes. Most fixes that we've applied live have actually been scripts to clean up anomalies in the legacy data rather than live code updates. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ World Singles, LLC. -- http://worldsingles.com/ "Perfection is the enemy of the good." -- Gustave Flaubert, French realist novelist (1821-1880) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
