Hot-Swap code replacement working with Resin 3.08.

Configuration:
MyEclipse 3 Beta 2
Eclipse 3.0
J2SDK 1.4.2_05
Windows XP Pro

Plugins:
Eclipse Visual Editor (EMF/VE) (recently added)

Hot swap used to work but now when ever I change a servlet, Resin restarts. Any suggestions? I do know that the Resin distribution changed recently as I had to add different libs to MyEclipse so it would launch from the IDE. I recently downloaded the Resin 3.09 snapshot (basically a pre-release of 3.09) and that did not resolve the issue. Any info/help you might have would be appreciated.

Can you better explain what you mean by;

Hot swap used to work but now when ever I change a servlet, Resin restarts.

Like Tomcat, Resin is probably reloading the web context for that app since the servlet changed… what behavior were you expecting?

[Richard Ellis Conway]

It is reloading the web context. That is expected. However, I was expecting the session information to be saved so that I could continue debugging the application. As it is now, I have to log back into the application and get back to the point of failure.

Tomcat has a setting to serialize its sessions during a restart and reload… I’m assuming Resin has a similar setting? I know nothing about Resin or else I’d be much more helpful right now 😉

[Richard Ellis Conway]

Resin has this as well – it may be that I failed to implement Serializable with an object I added to the session. I’m checking into that now.
