Iam using Eclipse 3 and I integrated the WAS6, Its working fine. But only problem is from Eclipse Iam able to stop and start the WAS6 application server, But I can’t hot deploy. So everytime I change the code I need to create the ear file and deploy it through WAS6 admin console.

Could you please let me know is there any way to hot deploy the Application in Eclipse -was6 server combination.

Thanks in advance,
Babu

Hey Breako/sriram,

If you want to see the changes in your class files without restarting tomcat set in TOMCAT_HOME/conf/context.xml by default it is false.

Hi Webguy,

I am using eclipse 3.3 and maven to build my project. The problem i face is whenever i change my java class, clean the project and start the server to debug my code the change doesn’t gets reflected. The change appears in java only when i run the maven build again. Any solution for this.

Hi Webguy,
Can you help me out?
I am using Tomcat 5.5 and Ganymede. I import a war file and link it to Ganymede’s Tomcat. All ok. Everything starts.

However, I want to add a few classes and hot deploy.

any time I use ganymede to build the class, it restarts the server so it’s not a true hot deploy – any ideas?

hi all,

i have developed a dyanamic web application using eclipse ganymede and tomcat server.The applcation is working fine.But for starting the server and the application i have to start the eclipse and the tomcat server correspondingly.again for stoping the application we have to stop the the server and close the eclipse.

Is there any way to directly start and stop the server and the applcation without starting the eclipse.
