Having re-read this, perhaps you meant to suggest that I make my master
tomcat on the windows (build) box? Then I could deploy locally, and have it
update the slaves. And only the slaves would have AJP connections set up
from httpd?

but you don't need to use samba, Tomcat will transfer the file for you.
all you need to do is to copy it to the "watch" directory on the master
(watch enabled).
Then tomcat will copy it to the other tomcat's. without using samba, and
without corrupting the file

The problem, I think, is that the file appears in the file system before
it
is received in its entirety. I don't know why -- maybe the nature of
samba
is to write, close, open-for-append, ... ? If I copy FROM Linux ("pull")
then I do not have this problem, it's only when pushing to the linux file
system mounted via samba from Windows. I've tried this numerous times,
because I have a strong desire to automate the build and deploy process as
much as possible -- saves me from having to do it myself ;-) I haven't
100%
isolated the exact circumstances.
Even if the push model worked (i.e., ant copy tasks) how can I know for
certain when the old is undeployed and when the new is deployed? And
speaking of that, should I simply be able to overwrite and have it
redeploy?
I've not seen that work -- sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't, and
because it is a push, it suffers from the sample problem as above.
For the record, the source is a Windows XP and/or W2K3 NTFS and the target
is RHEL V.4. Tomcat 5.5.12, JDK 1.5_05.

Tim-
I found the majority of transfer programs transfer text not binary..this
is
especially problematic when transferring from Windows to Nix
As a war is a binary I would make sure that the transferring program is
not
interjecting LF with CR and or treating the transferred war unit as text

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.

yes, farm deployment is triggered by simplying copying a WAR into the
"watch" directory, with ant that would be using the copy task

Is it possible to deploy to a cluster using the deploy task? (i.e., can
it
be done using /manager/html?) I think not (I can't find any way to do
it.)
If no, are there any plans to support this in the future?
I ask because I have found that production re-deployment is an
unreliable
process when you have to rely on deleting and copying war files across a
network share. I'd like to avoid having to keep a list of cluster
members
around in order to undeploy and deploy to each one.
Thanks,
Tim
