Most servlet containers support hot-deployments. You should check out the usergroups/ documentation of the servlet containers you are considering for these features.
My experience with various servlet containers (like Resin, Jetty, Tomcat, Websphere) is that it works allright if you play by the rules (like that all objects you put in the session are serializable). A pitfall is that some of these containers have (or at least used to have) memory leaks when utilizing the hot deployment features, resulting in performance loss or even VM crashes. And if you are considering building in hot deploy like features yourself, you can also start by looking at how the servlet containers try to accommodate it. Good luck, Eelco Btw mailing list users are usually not very happy with people cross-posting. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Taavi Tiirik Sent: vrijdag 13 augustus 2004 14:06 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Mav-user] webwork, maverick and 24x7 Hi, I have two webapps using Webwork, Maverick, Tomcat 4.1, Hibernate, JSP views (but switching to freemarker soon). These web applications have to be available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day but the problem is they need new features almoust every day. But I am kind of tired of deploying new releases duering night when there is less users. So I am trying to find a best way how to deploy changes into working system. If this is possible at all. Please be so kind and share your experiences. Oh, and I am not so tied to tomcat after all... thank you in advance, taavi ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 [INVALID FOOTER] ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 [INVALID FOOTER]
