Hi,
I am working on some optimizations for the NB user experience for
developing enterprise components and apps. I think they will depend the
deploydir functionality and the use of the dot-reload file... But I have
to wonder: Is using the dot-reload file to trigger an autodeploy really
faster when you redeploy a large app.
Is there any comparison out there between using 'deploydir with
dot-reload' vs. repeated deploydir operations?
I can think of one disadvantage of using the dot-reload
functionality... The user doesn't get any feedback on when the
'redeploy' is DONE. This delay may be significant for enterprise scale
applications...
Folks may wonder what I mean by 'enterprise scale'. I think the Liferay
portal is an enterprise scale application (in either of its two forms),
about 62 MB (ear) or 52.7 MB (war). It may be a bit extreme, though.
Thanks,
vbk
