Exploded EAR deployment supported?
[226 byte] By [mcory1a] at [2007-11-27 9:32:48] 
Hi,I am currently developing with the MyEclipse IDE. Does Sun Java Studio Enterprise 8.1 support exploded deployment of EARs, and can it 'hot deploy' changes into the running Application Server?Thank You

Hi.
SJSE 8.1 doesn't support exploded deployment of EAR projects. It currently supports exploded deployment of WAR projects.
I know that folks have extended NetBeans to support exploded EAR deployment in NB 6.0...
You can find out more about that in this blog entry and screencast:

http://serverplugins.netbeans.org/screencasts/pfsc1.html
Can you clarify what you mean by 'hot deploy'? Different folks have different definitions of this phrase... I think SJSE 8.1 does 'hot deploy' as I understand it... but my understanding may not match your vision of this feature...

vbk,
Thanks for the reply.
What I am looking for is code synchronization into an exploded deployment. I get this with Eclipse and Tomcat.
When I make changes to my JSP page or Java source file, the IDE will copy those changes into the exploded folder where I deployed my Enterprise Application (for Tomcat this is limited to a Web Application of course).
The Application Server can then pick up the changes without having to restart or redeploy the entire web application. Of course it is usually limited to changes which do not constitute an Interface change.

you get similar behavior with SJSE 8.1 and SJSAS/GF for web apps.
The hot part of this story needs to be improved... We currently call for a redeploy when the classes in a web app have changed.
In the NetBeans 6.0 case, we do a redeploy of the exploded ear... So the packing and unpacking can be optimized out of the picture. That can take up a significant amount of time...
