Create a WAB with bndtools (look at bnd -wab and -wablib). Then setup a run
environment with a web container. bndtools will automatically create and deploy
your WAB (which is actually also a WAR) after every file save you do. I guess
it should be possible to use the web-container, I guess PAX Web would be the
one you want to look at.
I have not tried this yet so if you get this to work I would appreciate how you
setup so we can create a small tutorial out of this because I think others are
very interested in this.
Kind regards,
Peter Kriens
