When deploying a large project over a slow network(vpn) you get: Deployment error: Deployment timeout has exceeded. See the server log for details. This means I must get into my car, drive 500 miles at the current fuel price which by the time I need to get back has doubled; or instead use some other ftp application and deploy the ear locally - why did we bother with remote deployment support if messages like this appear. In this case I only changed one line of code - now it wants to deploy the entire project including all libraries again over and over; which by the way I can not change as they are in a jar and I've put the lid on them (deployed them before to the server). When unpicking deploy in the libraries tab for the project, it only deploys my code but nothing works as when redeploying it removes everything in the application including all the libraries. Further more this strategy of bluntly removing everything in the application path adds unnecessary complexity to the management of the UploadFile control and the like; as it now needs to put files outside of the web application domain.
I suppose you are talking about specific server... Please assign the proper subcomponent of serverplugins component. You can configure deployment timeout for GF in properties tab.
My apology - I did not know about the deployment timeout setting; and yes it's for a specific server - so; Thank You. For now I'm packing most jars into the domain lib folder; and only deploying what really needs to get deployed - it seems to do the trick. However I'd still like to be able to "replace-deploy" instead of "clean-deploy" applications.
