HotswapAgent on Wildfly 9.1

[Edward Legaspi]

Hi, I'm currently trying HotSwapAgent on Wildfly9.1 but can't figure it out yet. I tried the instructions here: http://tirthalpatel.blogspot.com/2014/06/steps-to-setup-hotswap-agent-in-eclipse.html (although this is for tomcat). I disabled eclipse automatic publishing and deploy the primefaces-jsf example jar from github. On deployment I got:

23:19:13,166 INFO  [stdout] (Thread-342) HOTSWAP AGENT: 23:19:13.166 INFO (org.hotswap.agent.config.PluginRegistry) - Plugin 'org.hotswap.agent.plugin.hotswapper.HotswapperPlugin' initialized in ClassLoader 'ModuleClassLoader for Module "deployment.primefaces-jsf.war:main" from Service Module Loader'.

23:19:13,358 INFO  [org.wildfly.extension.undertow] (ServerService Thread Pool -- 114) WFLYUT0021: Registered web context: /primefaces-jsf

But changing any files doesn't update the deploy war.

Any idea why? Thanks.

1. Check if you have "Automatically publish when resource changed" selected in server configuration.
2. Check if changed class files are copied into wildfly's "standalone/deployments/" directory. If not something in the deployment is wrong
3. If classes are updated then check if you have -XXaltjvm=dcevm

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, I've already tried with #1 set. Yes it does work but isn't that the work of eclipse auto publish?

2.) Yes files are copied and updated.

3.) Classes are updated and yes I have that server argument.

So with this settings it will work (I thought need to set auto publish to false for hotswapagent to kick-in). But how about if I'm working on multi-module environment? How do we set it? For example I have:
main-project

-sub-project1

-sub-project2

If I want to monitor sub-projects 1 & 2, what value should I put in extraClassPath?

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I'm now using the multi-maven feature as suggested. It seems like we can set multiple entries in extraClassPath using comma ,. Is that correct?

But now whenever I change a class I have:

"java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jboss/weld/annotated/slim/SlimAnnotatedType".

Any idea?

Thanks.

Try the last version from repository. I did some fixes in Weld plugin after 0.3 release. Wildfly/weld has a problem with EJB now, if you don't use EJB it should work.

[Edward Legaspi]

Sadly that's already the version I'm using right now. And yes I'm using EJB. My project is defined this way:

web

-ejb

-model

[vladimir dvorak]

You can disable Weld plugin in hotswap-agent.properties at last. You lost possibility to change injection etc. Or you can use dcemv alone. To fix EJB in Weld looks not to be strightforward now and additionaly I don't use EJB on daily basis.
