Why bother un-deploying and then shutting-down? A shutdown undeploys all applications, first, anyway. I think you're just complicating the process. > I just read last night that auto-deploy/undeploy carries a performance > impact, is the performance impact really that significant just for > monitoring a directory? I'm not sure about auto-deploy and auto-undeploy, but auto reload can be significant. I believe that, by default, Tomcat watches WEB-INF/web.xml, any JAR file loaded for the application, and any .class file loaded for the application, for changes. Since Tomcat uses exploded WAR files, I'm guessing that it watches a /lot/ of files, and it scans then every 15 seconds or so. It also requires memory to store the original file date for each file being watched, etc. I have auto-deploy on for production, but I only have 1 webapp per Tomcat instance, so I'm pretty sure it's not working all that hard. I leave it on to simplify my deployment (don't have to copy META-INF/context.xml into $CATALINA_HOME/conf/.../... to deploy). >> How does this even work?

If you are using auto-deploy, then the context name is the WAR file name without the ".war" extension. So, for instance, foo.war is deployed into "/foo". The special name ROOT.war will auto-deploy to "/". > An interesting idea... How would you make your tomcat unavailable during the > re-deployement of a new application? While Tomcat is undeploying and re-deploying an application, the application is already (temporarily) unavailable. Did you need something more interesting? - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGuHuF9CaO5/Lv0PARApdXAKC7eJpQki8qVraEWYcEQem1fJPnCwCfQfgX KaYFO7ulsg+C0DcB3PNFStE= =bF6Q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
