This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
In order to speed up the development cycle we need netbeans to a default ant task that will bring task tha directory tree that is compatible with Glassfish deployed tree structure (see $GLASSFISH_HOME/domains/domain1/applications/j2ee-apps structure on a deployed EAR or WAR). At this time only WAR is available which means enterprise applications got heavy development cycles ! Doing so, we could just save or recompile the project to glassfish reload the resource or class (if the classloader allows it). An option in Server Manager could be brought to indicate if this task has to be called (and hence the "flat deployment" directory generated). At the end NB should indicate glassfish that a new j2ee app is available at that directoty location in the same way that the config line : <j2ee-application availability-enabled="false" directory-deployed="false" enabled="true" java-web-start-enabled="true" location="${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/applications/j2ee-apps/telemak" name="telemak" object-type="user"/>
-> sunappserv
actually this requires a coordinated effort between the various projects, j2eeserver and serverplugins (including sunappserv...)
we did this. see: http://blogs.sun.com/vkraemer/entry/new_glassfish_integration_feature_directory
marking as feature.
