Mark Hobson updated MOJO-566:
-----------------------------
Assignee: Mark Hobson
Summary: Redeploy goal does not do what it says (was: Redeploy goal does
do what is says on the tin.)
> Redeploy goal does not do what it says
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: MOJO-566
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MOJO-566
> Project: Mojo
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: tomcat
> Environment: Windows XP Professional, Intel Centrino, Java 5, Tomcat
> 5.5.16, latest snapshot of tomcat plugin.
> Reporter: Trent Rosenbaum
> Assigned To: Mark Hobson
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: patchfile.txt
>
>
> The class and properties message that make use of the term redeploy should be
> renamed to reload. Within the class that implements the redeploy goal the
> method "reload" is used on the manager. The task should be renamed because
> it does not complete another deployment of content over the existing
> deployment of the web app. The documentation on the tomcat site says that
> the a reloading of classes is completed, (making you think there is a
> deployment of new code) but this is only if the classes and resources are
> placed under the webapps directory within tomcat.
> A new RedeployMojo should be implemented to extends the existing deployMojo
> but should override the isupdate method to allow the existing deployed
> context to have a new deployment placed over them. If the project does not
> feel this is worth doing then it should be made clear what tomcat:redeploy is
> doing. If the class is not implemented then a user could set the
> configuration for this value to be true.
> I have included a patch file for the rename.
