JRebel Struts integration

[Sander Sõnajalg-2]

Hey Guys,

For the last few weeks, I've been working on building Struts/Struts2
integration into JRebel, for a couple reasons:
JRebel is a JVM agent that brings class reloading to the JVM platform,
enabling web-application development without waiting for redeploys each time
you change something. For frameworks that cache their runtime configuration
like Struts/Struts2, simply reloading the classes doesn't do the whole
trick, so I've also added explicit support to reload Struts action-mappings
and framework constants without redeploying.  In a study of 1100+
developers, we found that the redeploy process itself consumes between 3-7,
full, 40 hour weeks per year, depending on the containers you're using, so I
hope that support for Struts and Struts2 will help you to save some serious
time.

I also made a screencast showing how Struts/Struts2 development would look
with the JRebel Struts plugins enabled, and posted it in this official
announcement:

If there's anything that I can do to improve our support of Struts &
Struts2, let me know.  You can reach me personally at s

Sõnajalg--

does Jrebel work with WebApp classloader or System classloader?
i didnt catch which containers you are supporting?
Which events does Jrebel listen for?

i agree a redeploy should not take more than a week

hey,

JRebel works universally with all types of class loaders. Here's a link to
support matrix on what containers & frameworks are supported:

Cheers,
