Any JRebel guys out there? Or JRebel users, maybe. I currently use Eclipse with the SYSDEO Tomcat plugin. I'm not really into tools that deeply (I just use 'em), but what I see is that I can change some class files and have it pick-up the changes without doing anything (without restarting Tomcat or redeploying the app). If I change a jsp, I need to run this huge ant script that came with the framework we use here (Comergent). Running with the "lite" parameter allows the jsp's to be recognized, and only takes a couple of seconds. >From a debug standpoint, I can set breakpoints in classes, and they work, but can't set breakpoints in jsp's.
My issue with the way this works, though, is that it seems like when I change methods (not signatures, just method contents) in a classes with some static stuff, it complains and closes the JVM where Tomcat's running. Sometimes I have two Tomcats running, and if it has an issue with code in one web server, it closes both of them. So my question is...will JRebel move me significantly towards higher productivity? As I was listening to the podcast, I was thinking "oh, I already do that" quite a bit. What is the underlying technology that I'm using to support my changing class contents without a redeploy right now (the Tomcat plugin), so I can better understand the "+" and "-" on this page: http://www.zeroturnaround.com/jrebel/comparison/ --Dale-- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
