Re: WAR based project layout vs Sun J2SE blueprint layout

[Frank W. Zammetti]

I couldn't agree with Craig more.  Especially when we're talking about 
development, I can't concieve of having to WAR things up, whether it's 
going on my own machine or a remote box.  I've even seen some people 
work with something like Resin that will pick up ANY change instantly 
and automatically for development.  Not a bad approach at all.

I frankly like doing things this way in prod too, just leave everything 
exploded, but there's some room for debate whether that's a good idea or 
not.  On the other hand, it's awfully nice to be able to drop an updated 
JSP, or a new stylesheet, or modified images right into an app without 
having to restart, recompile, WAR or anything else (doesn't generally 
work for class or library changes, but half way is better than no help 
at all)

Have you considered deploying exploded versions of your WAR file in the
development environment?

This approach works great for me ... the lack of copying really
improves turnaround time on redeployments during the development
cycle.  All of the build scripts for the Struts examples are
instrumented with Tomcat integration for things like this, using the
custom Ant tasks that Tomcat provides for this purpose.
