Re: [jetty-users] Continuous stopping/starting of WebAppContext

[Jan Bartel <janb@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nils,

For development, many people choose to use maven. In which case, they
use the jetty-maven-plugin, which is specifically set up to do hot
replacement of files. Static files do not cause context restarts, only
changes to compiled files, or configuration files such as web.xml, the
pom.xml etc.  Here's the doc link for it:

The jetty hot deployer does not distinguish between static and
compiled files - if any file in a monitored directory changed, then it
redeploys.  Maybe open a bugzilla for an enhancement that could select
more files to ignore for redeployment (ie .html, .css, js etc etc) ...
