How can I deploy a single jsp file once I have changed it?

Is there a way I can auto-deploy the jsp file upon save?

Kind of a pain to have to stop tomcat, deploy, start tomcat for a simple change.

Thanks

Great question!

When you deploy your web-application to Tomcat be sure to use the “Exploded mode” of deployment and ensure that “Automatic build” is enabled (from MyEclipse menubar select Project>Build Automatically). Doing this will automatically redeploy any JSP or Java file when it is changed. Thus preventing a need to recycle appserver for these changes.
I really like this feature.

A quick note: Exploded Deployment Mode does not create a WAR archive but rather copies all of the Web Project’s deployable resouces (JSP, Java, TLD, ….) to the application server’s autodeployment area with the same dir structure of a WAR.

Good luck.
