Hot deployment of EJBs with WL Portal4.0

[Sai Prasad]

Hello All,
I am able to hot deploy the Jsp files. I like to do the same for EJBs, Pipeline and webflow components. Has anyone tried hotdeployment with our jarring the .class files for EJB deployment? I tried to do it but didn't have any success.
Ideally, i like to run ant task to compile and run ejbc on EJB classes and be able to use it in wlserver6.1 with wlportal4.0.
Thanks a lot.

You can hot deploy ejbs in WebLogic on one condition, the Home and/or Remote Interfaces have not changed. In other words, you can only redeploy the implementation class.
I have also found this to be a bit flaky at times. If you are having problems after a hot redeployment then it is allows wise to restart the server.
Also, hot redeployment of ejbs is not intended for production use.
