Hi,

I am using
Eclipse 3.0
MyEclipse 3.8.3
WebSphere Application Server Advanced Single Server Edition 4.0.5 (using ibm jdk 1.3.1)

I have deployed an enterprise application .ear containing several war files and a jar file. Configured a jdk and application server using this jdk in preferences.
I am able to start the application server from within MyEclipse and can debug!

BUT
I cannot use hot code replace because the target virtual machine does not support that.
Is there a workaround?
I have tried starting the application server using jdk 1.4. That does not work, I get java.lang.VerifyErrors. Messing around with the classpath for days I did not find a way to start the server in 1.4.

Please help

tx,

Serge

Serge,
Unfortunately not, if the target VM (running the app server) does not support hotswapping of code, then there is no workaround except upgrading the VM (which you found does not work). IBM heavily modifies their JDKs so it is not a surprise that a newer 1.4 VM will not work.

How come then that hot code replace works in WSAD using WAS 4.0.5.?
It is also using jdk 1.3.1

I do not know, I have never used either of those pieces of software.
