Anyway to have hot swapping for models inside a spring boot project?

Camunda 7 Topics Discussion & Questions
1

Hi, I’ve created a camunda project using spring-boot maven archetype inside Eclipse with spring STP installed.
I’ve started it using run as Spring Boot App and everything is running ok.

But I would like to know: is there any way to have hot swapping for bpmn definitions installed/deployed or classes being used on Service Tasks without have to restart the application every time?

thanks

hot swapping classes is a spring boot feature, documented here https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/howto-hotswapping.html

however, since deployment of bpmn is coupled to the camunda lifecycle, this will not help you with process models.
It would be a nice feature to support, but currently: not available.

yep, certainly separate the discovery/deployment of process artifacts from engine lifecycle would be a good improvement.

thank anyway.
