> Currently in Wicket it is possible to reload the templates in DEVELOPMENT
> mode, but it is not possible to reload Java classes. That makes it very
> painful for the developer, as a server restart is required every time. One
> can still use hot code replace within the debugger, but that is not reliable
> and does not work every time, especially when the method signatures change.
> The attached *experimental* patch addresses that issue by providing a custom
> classloader and an adaptation of WicketFilter to allow reloading the Wicket
> application upon a class file change. As soon as a Java class is updated
> in the classes directories, the corresponding application is reloaded by
> WicketFilter. Also, bookmarkable pages are properly reloaded.
> On the TODO list:
> * allow to switch off class reloading
> * allow to specify the location of directories containing class files
> * porting to WicketServlet
> * more testing
> I wanted to share this code ASAP for you to test. It is based on branch 1.x.
> Note that part of the code comes from Apache Cocoon, released under the
> Apache license.
