FYI
I found that
JBOSS supports hot deployment out of the box. For days now i was restarting JBOSS container for changes made to Enterprise
bean, suddenly today when i thought running the client after replcaing the EAR file with the latest one, I found that
1)container gracefully discarded the
EJB's associated with the EAR
2) container redeployed the new EAR and started the new EJBs
3) When i invoked the client again, things worked with new changes.
This is cool. Its saving tons of my time, which is very useful.
