Not if it is in a 'hot deploy' directory is my understanding (this has

They drop and restart each server in the cluster. Normally production 
systems do not use 'hot deploy' because of the performance overhead 
involved in 'watching' a hot deploy directory.

See above for clusters - some of those systems support session 
replication / failover. That means zero downtime for this sort of 
upgrade.

Same.
