hot deploying emml mashup

[denghu...@googlemail.com]

Hi,

I am developing a visual EMML editor based on EMML RI. When I create a
new .emml file, each time I need to restart my server to testing my
new created mashup. Is there any way to depolying .emml file without
rebooting of server. The editor is a web application which is
deployed in tomcat 6. In oder to avoid restarting my web application
server, I deployed emml RI in another TOMCAT. So I have two seperated
tomcat now. I am very confusing. Is there a way to integrate these two
server? Is there a way to only restarting emml engine? I am expecting
your help. thanks in advance.

EMML RI loads emml scripts from appserver's classpath.

So, how about the following mechanism...

a) In tomcat/conf/catalina.properties , define your folder as shared folder i.e.,

shared.loader=/Users/foo/sharedemml

b) Generate a dynamic EMML mymash1.emml  and store it in  sharedemml folder. 

c) You should be able to access this newly created mashup "http://localhost:8080/emml/mymash1"  (without having to restart)

hth,
