We're looking at Composer as the DFS custom service development platform but one issue we have is with the development lifecycle.
In general, for standard web services, the development teams edit, compile and debug the code from within Eclipse using the provided web service tooling, but for Composer we're a little stuck as we can't see an easy way to do this directly. We can build the EAR file, manually deploy then attach remotely but that just doesn't feel right. Our unit testing all runs quite happily in 'local' mode but that misses the remote mode and the service front doors that are included.
So, how do you do it for DFS service development?, any tips/trick/best practice that we can learn from?
cheers,
