You're talking about a non-portable development environment anyway aren't you? Putting pieces of your 1500 jsps in different files might not be so hard???

Cmon, you change your jsp in src, deployment of change consists of copying changed file to temp deployment directory?? You rebuild from source, you pick up the changes. Only problem I see is automatically finding the correct tmp deploy directory again after redeployment of the whole ear. david > > /Rickard > > -- > Rickard Öberg > > > _______________________________________________ > Jboss-development mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-development > > _______________________________________________ Jboss-development mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-development
