Your best bet (as explained in my book ;) is to keep your jars in WEB-INF/lib and classes in WEB-INF/classes, OR use Resin and specify alternative directories for those two locations (such as lib/runtime and build/java). The real gain is for you to use a Hotswap capable IDE, such as Eclipse,

Use ww1.4! Alternatively just touch web.xml and it'll restart automatically, have an ant task do it. Francisco Hernandez wrote: i've been using orionserver for development but im so tired of having to restart to test things (yes, development mode is turned on), what app server are you guys

I've noticed that when I deploy wars to Orion, it doesn't restart either. If we ned to touch the web.xml, then I take it we shouldn't be deploying via wars (can't touch web.xml until it's been deployed/extracted)? Use ww1.4! Alternatively just touch web.xml and it'll restart automatically,

Deploying wars is slow (orion should pick up the new war though). It's inifinitely faster during dev to use an open dir. Just point orion at your web dir and you're all set. Wayland Chan wrote: I've noticed that when I deploy wars to Orion, it doesn't restart either. If we ned to touch the

Yeah. It's not a big task, after all. (Maybe it is and I just don't notice, since it's so trivial to do with ant.) On Mon, 8 Dec 2003, Francisco Hernandez wrote: so you create a .ear and deploy that everytime you test some changes? currently im not even using ant to build up a ear or war,

Yeah. It's not a big task, after all. (Maybe it is and I just don't notice, since it's so trivial to do with ant.) The latter is the case. It is a very big task, and you could easily increase your development efficiency by 100% if you worked with an exploded ear rather than earing and deploying
