Have you looked into writing an Ant task to do this for you?

Hello All, I'm currently running mid-sized website (load balanced
across five servers). Its a fairly large web application with a
front and a back-end. In production, the application is sitting
exploded in a directory which tomcats point at. It looks rather
like a development sandbox. I do this because our web people need
to modify the content (JSPs) of the website on a fairly regular
basis. Right now, they can just "cvs update" the webapp directory
and things work great.
However, this is a bit of a deployment nightmare. Everytime I need
to push out a new version of the core servlets, I have to manually
update each and every sandbox on each server. I would MUCH rather
use a .war file to deploy to each server and let tomcat deal with
things (since the website is really starting to grow). Is there
any way to deploy a .war file and then let people modify the JSPs
in it? Complicating things is that we use CVS for everything, and
new JSPs make their way to the site via a cvs update.
Right now, it seems like everytime someone changed a JSP, I'd have
to re-deploy the entire thing, when really its just a few JSPs that
have changed. The web guys update the site an average of 10-20
times per day.
Any suggestions? Seems like this would be a pretty common problem,
but I've found nothing on google, et al. Do I have to move to some
sort of content management system, where the servlets and JSPs
remain static and the data comes from a DB?
Thanks for any help or suggestions!
