In order for Reptile to load resources in a location and
architecture agnostic manner, we use resource: URLs to load
content. Normally Reptile pulls this content from reptile.war under
a running Tomcat instance.
A developer may want to update these resources within a running
Reptile instance to work with new functionality. Normally this
would require reloading Reptile/Tomcat, redeploying your new
reptile.war, waiting for Tomcat to restart, etc. This can take
quite a long time when you are trying to debug an application.
The solution is to update the content inline. This is easy to do
and we have a script in CVS that can handle this for you. All it
does is copy over new content into the correct Tomcat expanded web
application.
This code is included in src/scripts
within CVS.
