[opencms-dev] CLI for VFS or even better ant tasks for OpenCMS

Yes there is. You can configure Tomcat to reload classes and jars if they
are replaced in the actual file system. (Opencms just tries to create
facade of running things from the vfs, you can change things on the file
system and they won't be replaced so long as the files don't get
republished)

>From memory:-
 when you define the servlet context of opencms you set an attribute
reloadAble=true (in servlet.xml or you can do it in seperate files for each
context - depends on the version of Tomcat i think)
 Apparently it has performance implications...

Hi there,

I'm doing a typical 3-tier application which should run from OpenCMS.
Deploying a new version of my application is always a pain in the butt, as
have to login to OpenCMS manually, navigate into my module, lock my .jar
and
replace it. After that I have to restart the webapp containing this OpenCMS
instance. This takes lots of time, so I am looking for a easier way to do
this. Therefore the following questions:

* Is there a way to manipulate the VFS via commandline interface?
* Is there an ant task to automatically deploy my code into OpenCMS?
* Is there a way to get Tomcat to reload the replaced jar without
restarting
the whole webapp?

TIA, chris
