Ok, Tomcat works fine, but I haven't got jrun to hot deploy the jars.
Anyway, I found a dirty trick that works just fine.
in my ant build.xml
<snip>
... create and copy the jar to the lib/ directory, and then
<touch file="${webapp.dir}/WEB-INF/jrun-web.xml"/>
</snip>
this will cause jrun to unload and reload the entire application, fast
enought to let me code in peace. I'll look into a better solution when
I get out of the rush.
Thanks,
Aldo
