Hi, I'm using Tomcat 8.0.23 on Ubuntu 14.04. When I redeploy application (by replacing WAR file), tomcat returns 404 for short period of time. Is this intended?
I have found in: https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53024 Bug 53024 - Accessing Servlet while Reloading context gives 404 error Mark Thomas 2012-05-08 19:08:09 UTC "Thanks for the test case. This has been fixed in trunk and 7.0.x and will be included in 7.0.28 onwards. I also took the opportunity to improve the handling when a watched resource (such as web.xml) changes. This is now handled with a reload (so no 404s) rather than stop followed by a start." It seems to me, that Tomcat should pause requests on redeploy instead of returning 404. Or does this works differently for WAR files? Thanks, Pavel Cibulka
