Hot swapping on Multi-module maven project

Hi all,

I am evaluating IntelliJ IDEA 13 Ultimate for my workplace and I have come across an issue. Currently we develope using Eclipse IDE where we have an Enteprise Application (ear) deployed onto Weblogic 10.3.x which is only a matter of right-clicking on the parent module to deploy onto the server. I have succesfully imported the project into IntelliJ and activated all necessary plugins, such as Java EE, Weblogic integration etc. Initially I had a few issues with dependencies being at the wrong scope (although in eclipse it worked fine) and when I changed from Test to Provided everything worked fine.

I created a Run configuration for Weblogic server and under deployment I chose ear:exploded ear so that I can take advantage of reloading classes and resources without having to redeploy the app. Although I can succesfully deploy the app with no errors, I make some changes to an xhtml file, do Ctrl + F10 then reload my browser but I don't see the changes which led me to believe that I am missing something fundamental.

The app is spring, jsf1.1, javascript. I have attached a few screenshots but I do not how helpfull they are.

I think I have realized what the problem could be but I don't know how to fix it.

The ear:exploded which I am deploying has the structure shown in conf2.jpg, notice that the item one before the last in Output Layout is a .war. This .war contains all the web module related jars which contains all the views (.xhtml). Shoudn't that be unpacked in order for the reloading of resources to work? How do I set this up? When I select ear:exploded, under Available Elements > Artifacts I don't get web-war:exploded. So how can I move it into the ear:exploded artifact?

Regards,
George
