Hi,
I'm working to get my environment setup and have a question regarding development with jboss using the WTP. I'm close the only thing I need is for Eclipse to publish the war files in the jboss deployment directory as exploded in directory format not a .war file because the apps I'm working with require it. Does anyone know how I can tell or configure Eclipse to say please publish as exploded!!? - Duncan

With the JBoss support built into WTP, you can't. The Generic Server
support upon which the JBoss support is built, always publishes a war
file to a directory where it is assumed that the server will auto-serve
this war.

You may want to investigate JBossAS Tools, which offers JBoss server
support in Eclipse that is better integrated than what is currently
offered via the WTP Generic Server support. I believe it offers
incremental publishes, i.e. you change a JSP and only that JSP is
published. It doesn't have to rebuild a war to update a single changed
JSP. This would imply it can serve an exploded webapp.

Cheers,
Larry

I have a modified JBoss plugin here: http://www.cs.hs-rm.de/~knauf/public/

It has (among other small enhancements) a very dirty workaround to
perform exploded deployment (by just unzipping the WTP created archive
and copying it to JBoss ;-)).

If JBossTools is a too big change for you, you might use this plugin. Of
course, my approach does not provide the best performance ;-)

Best regards

Wolfgang
