Hi
No code atm I'm afraid but I will share some ideas/requirements/
thoughts....

We do a state check of the application before removing it from the
cluster which we can use to compare with after new deployment.

We have a level1 and level2 check for applications. Level1 check
functional deployment in tomcat, which basically checks the
application server.
Level2 actually submits a request to check complete infrastructure
functionality and parses xml( that is the intend anyway still needs to
be written)

We want to build in a failure percentage that if you have 10 servers
and 1 fails after 5 deployments, deployment should continue until in
reaches a failure percentage, say 20%.

The modjk tasks I have written that act as our loadbalancers actually
works quite well, once I have extended it a bit more I will gladly
share the code.

I think sequential deploy will need some generic loadbalancer/cluster
tasks build-in.

At the moment we use something like the following:
run "wget --quiet -O - --connect-timeout=1 --timeout=1 --tries=1
'http://$CAPISTRANO:HOST$/jkserver-status?cmd=update&from=list&w=#
{modjk_loadbalancergroup}&sw=#{current_tomcat}&wa=1&wf=1&wn=#
{current_tomcat}&wr=&wc=&wd=0' 1>&2>/dev/null"

maybe a wrapper to allow easier/simplified http interaction with put
and get might be usefull. (perhaps even some xml manipulation)

Anyway just some random thoughts.

Regards
