I have a big application which is packaged as a WAR file and it contains bunch of JAR files in it.
The load time of this application is huge. And I have to redeploy the whole app when I do a minuscule change to the application (which literally affects one class/one JAR).
So, I am wonder whether there is a way to speed up this whole thing?
This will be done in a development environment. So, some tricks which have side effects are fine.
I saw this question: Tomcat: hot deploying new jars However, it's old (5 years old).
Also, it would be really strange if it's not possible. I believe there are a lot of java enterprise apps which are big and It's hard to imagine all developers waiting for the whole app to redeploy after tweaking couple of lines of code.
