As it turns out, OC4J does support automatically loaded your deployments from MyEclipse, but you need to make a slight change to your <OC4J HOME>\j2ee\home\config\server.xml file.

Open the file mentioned above, and find the root "application-server" tag and add the following entry to it:

Code:

application-auto-deploy-directory="../application-autodeploy"

NOTE: MyEclipse uses the applications-autodeploy directory when deploying to OC4J. You are free to use the existing /applications directory, but then in MyEclipse you would need to use a Custom Location deployment when deploying projects.

so now the top of your file looks something like this:

Code:

<application-server  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oracleas/schema/application-server-10_1.xsd"  application-directory="../applications"  check-for-updates="adminClientOnly"  application-auto-deploy-directory="../applications-autodeploy"  deployment-directory="../application-deployments"  connector-directory="../connectors"  ... SNIP ...

Don't forget to save the file then restart the server. After you have done that, any EAR deployed to the <OC4J HOME>\j2ee\home\applications-autodeploy directory will automatically be deployed by OC4J for you, including deployments from MyEclipse.

Please see the OC4J Auto Deploy doc for reference.
