Remote tomcat on frame deactivation Update resources
Hi,
I'm wondering why the option 'Update resources' isn't available for 'on frame deactivation' like it is for local tomcat servers. How can I achieve the same result? Hot swapping classes works but when i change a jsp file i have to redeploy my application to see the result. This takes a lot of time and hurts my productivity.
Am I forgetting something, there has to be a way to automatically update (static) resources when they are changed.
Thanks, Edwin

This option is available only for artifacts in exploded format. As far as I know remote deployment works only for archives (war), so you can't update resources without redeploying.
In the deployment tab of the remote tomcat run/debug configurations i have selected the exploded war artifact... I use a vagrant box as my development machine with a 'local or mounted folder' mapped to the remote tomcat webapps directory. The only thing Intellij IDEA should do is update my exploded war artifact whenever I change a resource (jsp, css, js etc) so the remote tomcat server can pick up the change, hot swapping of classes is already working.
If you still need the functionality to work out of the box, you may vote on the issue
