Exploded EAR Deployment on JBoss [message #487623]

Hello all,

I've been developing J2EE / EJB3 applications on JBoss for a while now, and ever since I've been using MyEclipse IDE for that.

Because the most coworkers of mine don't use MyEclipse, but WTP, I'm trying to make myself compatible to them, but already within the first steps I'm facing a big problem:

I cannot get WTP to make an exploded deployment. My project is always packed into an zipped EAR file (just like I wanted to deploy to production environment).

In MyEclipse there's a simple option "Exploded" or "Archive".

Exploded deployment is essential for hot deployment of .class and .xhtml files, isn't it? How can I get WTP to make an exploded deployment?

Thank you all!

Marcus.

Hi Marcus,

this should be possible if you modify the ant file which performs the
deployment. Currently this creates a JAR file and performs a file copy. You can
find it here:
eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.jboss_1.5.206 .v20090115\buildfiles\jboss323.xml

If you make it working, please post your solution here ;-).

Best regards

Wolfgang

I have a custom JBoss plugin for WTP, and I added support for exploded
deployment to it recently: http://www.cs.hs-rm.de/~knauf/public/
But it will not do incremental deployment, it simply unpacks the EAR/JAR/WAR
files and copies them to the deploy directory ;-). So I don't know whether this
would help.
