I think you can deploy an uncompressed ear as a directory. Then you can just deploy the constituent jar/war files into that directory. So you can hot deploy the individual jars/wars, rather than the whole ear.
nb: I haven't tried this myself, but the jboss-net sar is uncompressed in jboss-head and works fine. good luck, fawce -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Jee-Meng Ang Sent: Saturday, December 14, 2002 1:59 AM To: JBoss-User (SF) Mailing List Subject: [JBoss-user] EAR, EJB-JAR, and WAR with Dependant JARs I have a question regarding the deployment of dependant JARs. According to J2EE spec, EJB-JARs and WAR are able to refer to another JAR in the same EAR using the Class-Path property within the MANIFEST.MF files. But using EARs for deployment means that the development-deploy-test cycle take a long time due to the overhead in packaging and redeploying the EAR. This will discourage developers from doing incremental development. JBoss supports hot deploy of individual EJB-JARs and WARs. Who can live without this feature. However, can JBoss support reference of classes in other Jars from EJB-JARs and WARs through MANIFEST.MF? If so, where should I deploy these dependant Jars? And can the Jars be hot deployed just like the EJB-JARs and WARs? Any help and pointers will be deeply appreciated.
