Hot Deploy with ZIP-assembled Maven modules
Answered
Hi everyone,
currently I'm working on a multi-module project where every maven module is being assembled as a ZIP file and deployed with an internal jetty (custom configuration....). Problem now is, I'm used to work with hotdeployment of java-sources, e.g. while working on a standard java web application where the application is being deployed as a WAR onto a Tomcat... But it seems that this is not possible with ZIPs? I have to deploy (copy the zip) every module manually after building it. Is it somehow possible to work with hotdeployment here as well?

Hot deployment needs an exploded format, it doesn't work well with war/ear/jar/zip files, since the container will need to reload the application. Producing zips also takes extra time.
I'm not familiar with the best practices used for embedded servers, you can try looking at http://stackoverflow.com/.
