I have observed that if I build on windows, and copy FROM windows to Linux, Tomcat will prematurely begin transferring the war file to the rest of the cluster. The master tomcat will end up with a correct war file, and the other will get a corrupt or truncated one.
Also, there is no synchronous way to remove the old war, know that it is undeployed from all tomcats in the cluster, and then you know you can deploy the new war. I guess I could have it sleep for 30 seconds or so, but even that is no guarantee. I haven't found that copy with overwrite consistently triggers the copy. I'm guessing this is a samba issue, but due to circumstances beyond my control, our build machine is running windows and I can't change it. At least with the manager application, when control returns to ant, the app is definitely (and reliably) undeployed.
