Question

I’m trying to limit changes from a jar file. I introduced a fix on the code, a very small fix in a single file. Javac compiler generates the new .class file and I plan to replace ONLY this single file in the jar (we had problems with the build and are unsure if the current build matches the production build).

I’m a C++ pro, but java… not so much. I wouldn’t dare to do this in C++ as optimizers inline a lot of stuff from object files and static libs. I’m under the impression I can do this with no great consequences in java.

Any advice?

Answer 1

I usually hot deploy files on server, that creates no problem in JAVA. You can do it as long as your compiler version is same as the other files. It would not be a problem.
