Dropwizard hot deployment

Question

I\'m looking for a simple to use system in Java which creates a REST service for me. So I found dropwizard but as far as I can use google it turns out it lacks hot deployment al

Answer 1

You don't have to use the shade plugin to run your service. You could just compile as a regular jar file and I think that would let you use your IDEs hot deployment features.

Answer 2

Have you ever tried JRebel ? They have JAX-RS support as well...

Answer 3

Not an answer, but I wrote up an article detailing how to use git to push a Dropwizard project to your server and for it to initiate a hot replacement. It relies on git hooks and running Maven via a script on the server.
