Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the article.

I can't seem to be able to reload jsp files on my side, I was able to with 6.2.. Were you successful on your side?

Example:

<web>
<link target="/">
<dir name="C:\myWorkspace\myWar\src\main\webapp"/>
</link>
</web>

Thanks,

Frederic

Hey Frederic,

I didn't do the JSP stuff in my example, but I did try it quick the following day and noticed the same thing. I have it on my list to try a couple of things to see if I can get that bit working as well and when I have it in place, I'll update the article with a Part Deux. Stay tuned.

Hi Andrew,

I contacted the JRebel support and they fixed an issue for me in the latest nightly build.. I was not able to make the remoting feature work. It works now both for classes and resources.

Regards,

Frederic

Hey Denis,

I didn't actually try it with the theme to be honest -- for a couple of reasons. First, I know that in the past it was "not supported". I actually had an open issue with JRebel for a while on this one and they told me that the reason was because the theme was unorthodox or something. With 6.2 I started using the theme instant deploy thing so it never really mattered to me. In 7, I didn't try it because the "gulp watch" thing from the theme instant deploy was integrated into the tools -- so I have need had a need for it. It means you have two separate tools to accomplish the same goal, which is a little annoying I guess, but it's never bothered me enough to pursue it any further. I thought about opening a ticket with JRebel, but I suspect they will give the same answer as theme is 7 remain, structurally, unchanged.

Hi Andrew, personally I found very useful JRebel with Liferay 6.2 because it was able to update only the scss and Liferay at runtime recompiles only the updated file.

Since 7.0, I didn't find useful because both scss and js compilation phases are required at build time and, as you wrote, guld watch is actually the best solution I get right now. I contated the JRebel support e they helped me to find similar 6.2 approach for Liferay 7 limited to css compilation. At the same time the told me that "Liferay themes goes out of JRebel’s functionality".
