That's the goal. There are tests for this already! For certain packages (the ones containing Tapestry pages and components), Tapestry will remember the file and timestamp from which classes were loaded. When those files change, the class loader is discarded (along with many other caches and pools) and Tapestry starts over again.
In the first pass, it's kind of like disable caching in Tapestry 4, but includes page and component classes, and is minimal cost when files don't change. At some point, I hope to make it very smart in terms of selectively clearing caches based on true dependencies. That may be YAGNI. There could still be interactions w.r.t. the debugger or what goes on inside a deployed application's classloader. More experiments yet to come. On 7/27/06, Jesse Kuhnert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I had a question. From what I've read so far I've gotten the impression that dynamic re-compilation of java classes "on the fly" might potentially be possible? Ie I can make a change to a page/component in eclipse and it will be compiled and usable in the app without having to restart?
