I'm looking for some ideas on how to handle our situation. Background: WebSphere 3.5.? VAJ 3.5
Currently we have about 90,000 files (JSP's, HTML's, and images) under our docroot. This is a little over 4 GB (and growing rapidly). In another directory, we have about 3 MB of JAR's. We have multiple instances of WebSphere running on our production server. We use symbolic links from several instances to one instance for the bulk of the JSP's and images(in order to save space). When we publish to production, we copy the new/changed files to the production server(either to the docs directory or the directory for our jars). We are looking at going to WSAD and WebSphere 4.? Does it make since (assuming it is possible) to keep this directory structure and publish process in place, or should we put everything together in a WAR file. The pro I see for the WAR file is that it keeps everything together in one nice file that we can move to whatever server we want. On the down side, every time we publish (weekly), we have to create the WAR file and move it to the production server. Even if it is just a one word change to a JSP file, we'll have to copy the 4 GB WAR file from one server to the production server. Also can we maintain the symbolic links from the other instances to inside the WAR file in the main instance?
