I'm beginning to think up a smart class loader approach that will allow the same kind of cycle we're used to from Tapestry 3, only better.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04486596490758986709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110180.post-1130754621802867862005-10-31T02:30:00.000-08:002005-10-31T02:30:00.000-08:00Even though I like the concept of annotations for ...Even though I like the concept of annotations for the same reasons as you, Howard, when it comes to the build-run-test cycle annotations slows me down. Changes of the annotations requires recompilation and redeployment of the application in the application server, whereas tapestry xml specification files can just be copied into the deployed application directory (as long as you remember to set the tapestry debug option to true) and refresh the page in the browser.<BR/>This is useful when you need to fiddle with ognl.Thomas Huusom Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18117815216070946564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110180.post-1130677740618492772005-10-30T05:09:00.000-08:002005-10-30T05:09:00.000-08:00Actually jboss does give you a way to change defau...Actually jboss does give you a way to change defaults without un/repackaging. You can deploy an unwrapped archive in the deploy dir (a directory named foo.ear/war/jar/... with the same structure as the wrapped equiv) and change the vendor descriptors. JBoss treats the unwrapped deployment the same way as a wrapped deployment. Hot deployment still works (you just touch the META-INF/application.xml or ejb-jar.xml, etc of the top level deployment). JB also allows you to use a combination of annotations and XML as you like. -AndyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
