[Mav-user] webwork, maverick and 24x7

2004-08-13 Thread Taavi Tiirik

Hi,

I have two webapps using Webwork, Maverick, Tomcat 4.1,
Hibernate, JSP views (but switching to freemarker soon).

These web applications have to be available 7 days a week,
24 hours a day but the problem is they need new features
almoust every day. But I am kind of tired of deploying new
releases duering night when there is less users.

So I am trying to find a best way how to deploy changes
into working system. If this is possible at all.

Please be so kind and share your experiences.

Oh, and I am not so tied to tomcat after all...

thank you in advance,
taavi

Most servlet containers support hot-deployments. You should check out the
usergroups/ documentation of the servlet containers you are considering for
these features.

My experience with various servlet containers (like Resin, Jetty, Tomcat,
Websphere) is that it works allright if you play by the rules (like that all
objects you put in the session are serializable). A pitfall is that some of
these containers have (or at least used to have) memory leaks when utilizing
the hot deployment features, resulting in performance loss or even VM
crashes.

And if you are considering building in hot deploy like features yourself,
you can also start by looking at how the servlet containers try to
accommodate it.

Good luck,

Eelco
