I couldn't find an answer to this in any other questions and I wanted to see if anyone knew. I'm using JBoss AS 7.1 on Kepler eclipse, and I was wondering if there is a way to change your standalone.xml while the server is running and have Jboss push the change. Would just cleaning the server do this?
You can't edit the raw XML files and see runtime changes. In fact there is a good chance any changes will be overwritten by the server.
The best way to make runtime changes is either via the web console or the CLI environment. I don't know if JBoss Tools has any kind of CLI type of client that can be used.
