I ran about 15 startup, quickStart, shutdowns in a batch file and
they all seemed to work fine.
thanks, Aaron

Hi, Philip,
I am very happy so far! I haven't seen deploy problem locally any
more since the
upgrade. I also observed that Hackystat was copied to webapps folder. One
phenomenon is that quickStart does not take constant time. Sometime
it is fast,
but not always.
Cheers,

OK, after a couple of weeks of chaos with Tomcat, it looks like
we're finally getting it under control. The daily build has gone
without a hitch for the past few days in a row, which is positive evidence.
I am currently thinking of making the stable release early next
week, barring any problems that come up this week. If Aaron,
Cedric, and Hongbing (at least) could provide some feedback about
the stability of their local installations under the new regime,
that would be great.
The status, as I understand it, is:
(a) Use Tomcat 5.5.20. For stability purposes, if you've been
having problems, you might want to unpack a new one to test out
this latest round of changes.
(b) Update your SVN repository. This will result in some changes
to the build procedure. The context.xml file is no longer
generated on the fly, but is instead in the build/war/META-INF
directory. There is no appbase specified. The result is that
hackystat is copied into the webapps directory. This is not a big
new overhead as it might seem, since previously (due to jar locking
issues) Tomcat was making copies of Hackystat in the temp directory anyway.
We're now updated to more recent versions of jstl and so forth
(thanks Cedric!).
I checked with Hongbing yesterday and he's been developing without
problems under this new scheme for the past few days. I have been
under water and working on an NSF proposal for Hackystat, so I
haven't had a chance, but the proposal is submitted so I will
definitely do some hacking later this week.
So, good luck, happy hacking, let me know how it goes. I'm keeping
my fingers crossed.
Cheers,
Philip
