Hot deployment

[spcmdr]

Hi

Does spring roo support hot deployment?
I mean is it possible to add method, classes at runtime without restarting the whole server and without closing the application context.

Hot deployment is currently not directly supported. You can easily 'hot' reload changes to jsp, css, images, etc but Java sources and configuration changes require a container restart. The good news is that Tomcat has a startup time of about 0.7 seconds.

If you want true hot deployment you could also take a look at things like JRebel. I have not tried this though.

HTH,
