In what situations, if ever, is it safe to run `ant update` while Tomcat is running?
I've mapped my webapps for Tomcat using "Technique A" (defining a context that points to [dspace]/webapps/[app]). In a development environment, I've played around with running `ant update` while Tomcat is running. Most of the time, Tomcat seems to reload the web application appropriately and continues to serve requests. Occasionally I will get errors or a blank page after doing so, which continue until I restart Tomcat (which resolves the issue). Would using WARs make this safe? That is, if I added the "-Dwars=true" option to `ant update` and updated my Tomcat contexts to point to [dspace]/webapps/[app].war instead, would it be okay to update my webapps while Tomcat is running? Or is there other stuff going on in `ant update` that is potentially going to break Tomcat? Thanks, Jacob
