We have a complicated setup via Maven, where different projects are packaged as wars then overlayed on each other.
Today I watched a tutorial of creating a Dynamic Web Project that can run directly within GlassFish. You edit the files press save, and the changes are seen in GlassFish.
Since our setup is complicated, I currently have to run some build scripts to copy files to a locally installed Tomcat. Is there some way to run my source files (that are in several different /src folders) directly on an application server? So that I can edit files and see their change directly in the Application server.
Due to maven being the glue holding the project together, this was not possible. I am manually deploying a war then writing many scripts to push files in to update files I’m working on.
