My goal is to set up a project in WebLogic 8.1 , hot deployed from MyEclipse. I have gotten servlets to hot deploy (as in when I save changes to the servlet, weblogic sees these changes) using an exploded deployment. However, when I save changes to an ejb impl file, weblogic is not seeing the change, forcing me to manually redeploy. Is there a way to make this work seamlessly so that I don’t have to manually redeploy changes to ejbs jars/utility jars inside of the ear?

Also, with an exploded deployment, manual redeploys are failing because weblogic seems to be locking a file. The error is “it could not be completely removed in the undeployment phase”. I am then forced to restart weblogic. Is there a way around this?

Please note that when I use an exploded deployment, weblogic does not see the deployed application until I deploy the ear file through the weblogic admin console.

Here is my MyEclipse setup.

You likely need to deploy first a packaged version of your project, then login into your WebLogic admin console and “deploy” or “install” the application into your app server, this will generate all the stubs for your EJBs. After that you can shut down your app server, remove the packaged deployment and recreate an exploded one, that will “overlay” your existing files and give you hot syncing.

Thank you for your quick response. What you have suggested did not work. It looks like when I make a small change to an ejb, the ejb jar is not being copied to the weblogic folder. Also, when I try to redeploy manually from MyEclipse, I still get the weblogic file locking error.

Did you try the Packaged Archive (production mode) deployment ?

Here is a thread that answers the weblogic Hot deployment issue similar to the one you are facing. Can you go through this thread to see if it helps.

Let me know if you still face the same issue.
