Hi Christopher, Ouch. Why do you delete the application before you stop Tomcat? I would stop Tomcat and then delete the files. We delete the war file before stopping tomcat to give Tomcat a chance to auto-undeploy the application automatically. I just read last night that

just a side note, the recommended deployment for production environment isn't a war file. instead put the webapp folder directly under webapps (or whenever your docroot directory is) AND put precompiled jsps under work. regards Leon On 8/6/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi A

Why bother un-deploying and then shutting-down? A shutdown undeploys all applications, first, anyway. I think you're just complicating the process. We were just being paranoid. We were seeing issues before with tomcat serving the wrong version of an application even though we believed we

I'm always a fan of not doing anything you don't have to. There's no question that you will increase the performance of your application by disabling the auto-deployment features of Tomcat. The difference may be undetectable, but it's a simple change, requires virtually no testing, and

Hi A quick google showed that one could possibly use a maven plugin to automatically deploy war files or ant. If you have a fairly large infrastructure eg: 6 Apache clusters(two servers configured active/passive) each with about 10 Tomcats. How would you do the following: * Quickly deploy a
