I would really hate the fact if
orion/applications/myapp was swiped on the next deployment, since my htdocs are
mounted under that directory. And we have customers who uses fileupload for
images that are to be displayed. And if the directory is to be swiped everytime
we update the application, all images would be lost every time and we would have
to move the images to the database instead, which is slower.

Subject: Properties survice
auto-deploy
I use a frontservlet.properties file in
my web-inf directory which is picked up by my front servlet (naturally).
While testing the servlet, I renamed the file to backServlet.properties,
just to exercise the diagnostic code. To my great surprise it made not
difference: the servlet continued to find a file called
frontservlet.properties.
Digging deeper revealed that both
frontServlet.properties and backServlet.properties were present in
orion/applications/myapp. It seems that when I auto-deployed my myapp.ear
into applications/, the orignal file, frontservlet.properties was not
replaced, and the new file backservlet.properties was added alongside
it.
I deleted the old file to get my test over with, but does anybody
know why auto-deploy of myapp.ear does not discard everythng that was
in orion/applications/myapp ?
TIA
Bill.
