Yes. The app is working and I can access.
As mentioned I'm running from eclipse - with embedded glassfish using the
eclipse project build path.
When I modify code and save, it will compile to target/classes.
At this point I (re)deploy app with --force, but no changes are reflected.
My initial assumption was that the problems was related to eclipse and
glassfish classloaders, but it's just a guess ...
Have you got any suggestion?
many thanks in advance
