Confirm that if version N is deployed, you can distribute version N+1 and later 
start it somehow

         Key: GERONIMO-2090
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2090
     Project: Geronimo
        Type: Bug
    Security: public (Regular issues) 
  Components: kernel  
    Versions: 1.1    
    Reporter: Aaron Mulder
     Fix For: 1.1.1


Let's say you deploy foo/MyApp/1.1/war, to 10 identical servers.

Now you have version 1.2 ready.

It would be nice if you could distribute 1.2 to all 10 servers (while 1.1 is 
still running).  Then you'd have to be able to run a command to essentially say 
"switch off 1.1 and switch on 1.2" in one shot (perhaps using a sticky load 
balancer to upgrade part of the cluster and let the rest of the cluster handle 
old sessions until they're finished).  This isn't precisely a redeploy (the 
stuff is already distributed, whereas a redeploy expects to send the new 
files).  More of a "cutover" command.

I suspect there may be bugs in the console and/or tool that manifest if you 
have two different versions of the same module installed simultaneously.  The 
deploy tool may also not let you distribute a second version of the same 
module.  But we also need a new command to do the cutover.
