OK, I finally got Tomcat 3.2 b4+ and JBoss bp3 configured to work together
in harmony.  I've also got my webapp (jsp and servlets) working just as it
did in Tomcat alone.  I've also got my 2 Entity Beans working.  I can call
one the entity beans from a servlet.  My servlet are utilizing the jBoss
connection cache as I had planned.  Everything is packaged up in an EAR file
and deploys, and works fine together.

So far this is all very cool.

Now, I need to know how to do ongoing development in such an environment.

When doing Tomcat dev alone, I just worked out of the dir where my jsp's and
servlet were to be deployed, no need to restart the server (which if I did
have to, if wasn't very expensive, time-wise).

When doing JBoss dev alone, I could compile and hot deploy, which was also
fairly cheap time-wise.

Now it seems I've got to package up all my stuff in an ear file and deploy
for every change I make.  Deployment seems to take about a minute or more.
Productivity killer.

Is there a better approach to ongoing development?  For now I'm going to
drop back to running the two seperatly and then do some occasional
integration testing to make sure things still work together.  I'm hoping
there's a better way.

I'd appreciate some input from the other Tomcat-JBoss experimentors out
there.

TIA,
