This is how it works currently. There is a "listen" directory. If you deploy an app to any of the nodes on the cluster, into the listen directory, it will deploy that app to the other nodes in the cluster. It deploys it into a "deployed" dir, if an app is removed from that dir, a message is broadcasted to the other nodes to undeploy the app. So it could work the same way, but use the tomcat dirs instead of new ones. And yes, the work dir is the place to store the file fragments. cheerios Filip

Yes for the first part. I think it's misleading to call that the autodeployer, though, as that component will become the deployer (the deployment code is spread and duplicated right now, so the spaghetti needs to go). For the second part, I don't understand. This seems to hint at the existence of a master node, which would be bad, no ? > I do need a temp directory to store the fragments of data sent across the > wire, so that we don't take up too much RAM. I don't get that sent data thing, but you can use either the workdir or the tempdir (as usual).
