I have a project with different modules. In fact, I have 4 modules:
- presentation-jsf
- repository-oracle
- service
- webapp
See the image below:
I am developing a library to use by another teams of the company I am working at. For that reason, we can not add the xhtml files in the webapp module. We decide that because as a library we want to keep in that way. We are using Primefaces 6.1 with the Barcelona theme. Also, I am using JSF2 with Tomcat.
The WebApp is totally empty because are the clients who will be using it in theirs webapps. For that reason, the module where I have the .xhtml files is presentation-jsf. Inside there, I have all the xhtml files:
The problem is that when I am executing the webapp itself, without any client, the application is working fine (I can access to the http://localhost/web/app/view.xhtml file). I don't need any of my client's project to use the library. I can use it directly as a webapp. But the main problem is that I can not do a hot redeploy. It means that all the files with xhtml format, is not working.
Of course, when I am using any of my clients, the application is not doing any hot redeploy because they are using it as a war file (library). For that reason, I suppouse that is not possible to do a hot deploy.
I am using Intellij. For that reason, maybe there is some way to copy the file in a hot. If I have to do any change, I have to do a restart of the server and sometimes, I have to do a maven clean install to clean it up.
