If you use Eclipse (www.eclipse.org/ free; runs on Wins/Mac/Linux)
with the web plugins, it records your deploy target, and allows you to
deploy with either a war file, or in "exploded form". In the latter
case, you can usually leave your web server running, make a code
change, save the file, and it is automatically re-compiled & re-
deployed to the running server. At worst, you only need to hit a
refresh button. It makes life much simpler, and the syntax-directed
editor saves me from many stupidities.

Hi all,
I've got a query on the way web applications are deployed. I have an
application that has several jsp files and serlvets that are in
WEB-INF/classes.
When i deploy the application all i do is do a checkout on CVS, make
the
changes, rebuild the war using ANT and redeploy manually. This works
fine
but now i am having some doubts on this approach.
Basicaly if i even change one file i have to rebuild the war file
meaning i
have to recompile everything. I think this is unecessary. i would
like to be
able to just recompile the one file and redeploy the one file
without having
to rebuild the whole war file.
1. How do you deploy your application? If you deploy as a war file,
do you
recompile everything even if the change is to a single file or a
configuration file.
2. Could you provide an example on the approach you use from the
point a
source file comes out from CVS to the point it get to the production
environment. (An example with a single file change would be usefull)
2. Do you use any tool to manage this?
I am thinking that if i change one file i should be able to just
compile
that one file and move it to the WEB-INF/classes folder into the
relevant
folder. This might work but is there a better way of doing this
instead of
moving it manually?
Thanks
