Hi Marcel,
You're right, I had already tried that and it didn't work. On the other
hand, I tried to pack my .war inside a .ear and everything worked. Of
course that adds another directory and another file to be created but
it's something I can cope with ;). Touching the application.xml file
works fine but I was hoping that auto-detection of new .war files would
be as easy as .ear files, that way a simple ftp with the new war file is
enough but that's not a problem.
Another question, when I perform a hot deployment, all the sessions are
lost. Is there any way I can keep the sessions alive? I mean is there
any setting to persist the sessions across deployments?
Thank you for your help,
Dan
