I said the same thing, but my message never made it.  :/

I think you'd want to leave the file there, because then you can examine it to see what exactly you deployed... You could also take that exact artifact and give to someone else for deployment elsewhere (in QA, for example) confident that what you tested is what you gave out.

This was my thinking as well. The directory would listen for adds, modifications, and deletions.

I think this may be somewhat confusing. I think when dropping in the directory, it should should deploy...then be immediately removed from the directory. IMHO, this dir should be for hot deploy only. Let the deployer decide if it should be updated or added. I think the deletions should not be done through this dir. We should use the normal undeploy capabilities of the deployer.


Wouldn't it be more confusing to the user if their file got removed after it got deployed? I feel the point of a "live" directory is for the runtime to be able to react to any changes to it, including deletions. Both Jboss and Websphere's hot deploy capability allow deletions.

What does tomcat allow?
