IntelliJ, Glassfish, JRebel - Slow deploys and jsps/tags require redeploy

Question

I am developing a J2EE application using IntelliJ and deploying to Glassfish. I am also using JRebel which hasn't seemed to help reduce the need to redeploy.

Changes to JPA entities still requires redeploying as do changes to JSPs or Tags.

What configuration options in either IntelliJ, Glassfish, or JRebel should I be looking into so that I can just change code and see/test my changes without having to redeploy?

Answer 1

Hi! have you tried asking at JRebel's forum?

Answer 2

My toolkit for JRebel is:

• my web application is configured with Maven JRebel plugin
• my web server is running with proper java agent (http://www.zeroturnaround.com/reference-manual/server.html#server-3.1)
• when I change something in IntelliJ I just hit 'recompile'

However IntelliJ itself is JRebel unaware. I don't like messing with too many IDE plugins.
