Experience of shared network storage is that it is not 100% reliable. If the Tomcat server's connection to the shared server drops, then all the applications will be undeployed on that Tomcat instance. Reliable network storage is available but it is generally significantly more expensive to purchase and even more expensive to maintain than simply buying a few TB of local disk storage for each Tomcat instance. Other factors to bear in mind: - running from a WAR is slower than running from an unpacked directory - you can't have multiple Tomcat instances unpacking WARs into the same shared storage - your options are: 1) Run web apps from WARs on shared storage (slow plus see above) 2) Run web apps from unpacked diretcories on shared storage (see above) 3) Have the web apps in shares storage but have each Tomcat instance unpack them to local disk (may as well use local disk in the first place) > 2.

Parallel deployment should help with that. http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/config/context.html Roughly it works like this: - deploy app##001.war - users get directed to version 001 - deploy app##002.war - once that web application starts any new users (i.e. new HTTP sessions) will be directed to version 002. Users with sessions in version 001 will continue to be directed to version 001. - undeploy version 001 once all the sessions have expired (Tomcat can do this for you automatically) - repeat for app##003.war, app##004.war etc It also works in a cluster.

Deployment issues with multiple instance of Tomcat sharing web-apps directory
Hai, Iam new to mailing list and I apologize in advance if this is not the correct place.. Iam a system administrator and my development team creates application in JAVA that are been hosted on tomcat web-servers. While hosting the application, I was asked to explore the feasibility on the below points 1. Can I have centralized web-apps directory for multiple tomcat instances hosted on the same or different servers. ie tomcat1 running on server1 and tomcat2 running on server2. Both servers are been assigned a common storage folder (via NFS) named "webstore" which has been mapped to both servers webapps directories. Now my query is upon starting tomcat instances on both servers, I should receive a working instance of my application on both servers. Is this possible in any way or is there any other recommended method that I should follow. Providing individual webapps folder to all tomcat instances would be a waste of storage space for our project as our application warsize is large. I have searched the internet and found nothing clarifying my point. Hence I though to post here and collect your vaild comments. 2. Deploying a patched/updated web application to the current live production tomcat server should require least deployment time. For us, it takes too long to update the web application war file on most of our servers. Hence we have to shutdown the server, update the new war file and then starts up tomcat. Is there any best practices that I should follow so that I can reduce the deployment time to minimum. -- Thank You Best regards Vinu Vibhu Sobhana - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org

Secondly, I have noticed that if I try to delete the ROOT.war in webapps and I try to deploy my index.war at the location / a ROOT.war appears with the exact same size that the index.war, so I imagine that my war is successfully copied. I tried to access the / of my server and I saw the following error : : java.io.FileNotFoundException: /opt/victor/tomcat-base/work/Catalina/localhost/manager/ROOT.war (No such file or directory) I checked and indeed this file is not in the directory.

Deployment issues
Hello everybody, I am running a server with tomcat 6 installed and running for a long time. I deploy the war files remotely with the following command in my browser : [Server location]/manager/deploy?path=/war=file:[pathtoFile]/index.war [Server location]/manager/deploy?path=/userwar=file:[pathtoFile]/user.war Recently I went on this address while index.war was being transferred with scp. It failed and thrown : fail deployed application at context path / I waited until the end of the previous transfer and I decided to deploy the good file but the same message appeared again. I tried with other valid .war files and I always got the same error. I tried to deploy the index.war file to another context path like : /index and it worked. It looks like the context path / is locked, do anybody had the same problem ? I tried rebooting tomcat's server but it doesn't change anything to the problem... I'd like to avoid reinstalling the whole tomcat server for such a mistake Thank you for your help !

I'm unclear as to whether I need to explicitly 'undeploy' to clear out the works directory etc. So, as Johnny Kewl said, there is legacy code being used from the old version. So do i need to 'undeploy' to clear out the work directory and any other directories that tomcat uses to run the app or does restarting tomcat do this automatically. Having said that, the solution I used was to stop and start tomcat, which apparently cleared out the cache, so why didn't it do this when i restarted tomcat after deployment. And it doesn't seem to answer the problem of when I changed the database directly and it didn't show up in the app. Here it seemed to cache the data rather than the application code (which resetting the browser or using a different browser or using a different machine that has never run the application before didn't fix). I'd like to explain how we deploy a bit clearer as I think I rushed it a bit earlier. We have two business sites that have two separate databases (running on the same database instance but that is irrelevant). For convenience, we wanted to have a single war file for the web app that all sites shared. So we do the following (and I lied earlier we use /var not /opt): We have a dir called /var/tomcat/wars in which we store the single war file We have a dir called /var/tomcat/instances which contains directories for each site ie /var/tomcat/instances/site_a /var/tomcat/instances/site_b in each of these directories we have the tomcat directories conf, webapps, work etc. The tomcat binary is in /opt/tomcat (and yes i do mean /opt this time) We have a context fragment file for each site which is /var/tomcat/instances/site_a/conf/Catalina/www.site_a.com.au/myContext.xml which contains Context docBase=/var/tomcat/wars/site_a-version1.war reloadable=false swallowOutput=true The server.xml file has a Host element that reads: Host name=www.site_a.com.au appBase=webapps unpackWARs=false autoDeploy=false xmlValidation=false xmlNamespaceAware=false There is no Context element Running version.sh returns:Using CATALINA_BASE: /opt/tomcatUsing CATALINA_HOME: /opt/tomcatUsing CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/tomcat/temp To deploy I: * Stop tomcat using launchctl (MacOSX's services controller, like init.d in Linux) * copy the war file into the wars directory (with a different name to the old app) *Edit the context fragment file so that docBase points to the new war file * restart tomcat using launchctl Regards, = Steven Ah... I see what you doing... this is what is wrong Do not change the name of the WEB APP of the WAR The way TC relates context and path is thru the actual name of the file. This is so that normal humans can easily change the context just by changing the file name... So make the context file in TC look something like this ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? Context docBase=D:/DEV/Ext/test/WebApplication2.war path=/WebApplication2/ The path is the context you want it to run on ie domain/WebApplication2 Make them the SAME... Then do this... in HOST autoDeploy=true Then just drop the new wars over the old one and it will redeploy automatically. Notes... You are not sharing files like this, ie when it deploys, each TC is getting its own unpacked version in webapps... have a look. So you see what happens and its what you calling CACHING... is that when you change the name... TC looks for that context. Cant find it, BUT does find the old already unpacked one in webapps... and just runs that. It cant connect that the new WAR name, ie context must be the same as war file name. Context docBase=D:/DEV/Ext/test/WebApplication2.war path=/WebApplication2/ is the full way, so you can see if you can try match a context to a different war name, but I dont think TC will figure it out. If you want to mismatch war and context... you can but then you must undeploy from /manager/html and you must run this to redeploy http://localhost:8080/manager/deploy?config=file://path/to/context.xmlpath=/NewContext Too much pain... Then one last thing... becareful if you develop against one of these TC's... as soon as you do that, the IDE will steal the context away
Re: Tomcat caching and deployment issues
Steven Probetts wrote: You say that restarting tomcat will tell tomcat that the context.xml file has changed. But does it clean out the cache. My understanding is that TC uses the work dir as its work area when running a war file in unpacked form. i am wondering if a TC restart tells TC that the context file has changed, but only changes the files in work that have changed, and leaves the others alone. On the other hand, an undeploy and redeploy does clean out ALL the files. A reload will not clean out the work dir but providing the timestamps on your files are correct (ie newer files have later timestamps and nothing has a timestamp in the future) then that shouldn't be a problem.

I deploy a newer version of my application (which uses Icefaces) or make a change in the database and what appears to happen is that the changes don't take effect until after i stop and restart the tomcat instance. (I do this via launchd load and unload commands). Resetting the browser caches doesn't seem to solve the problem, only restarting tomcat. My web app uses iceFaces (a plug in to JSF which I believe icefaces is written in javascript). I also have a suspicion that Tomcat was copied (or at least the directories such as conf, temp, work and all the others) from another machineif this helps. A single binary of Tomcat is stored elsewhere in the file system which (/opt/tomcat/). Also we don't use the webapps directory. We put the war file into a specially created wars dir and point to it from the context file (we do this so that we can have one war file serve multiple sites, each site having a different context file.). The native tomcat that apparently comes with MACOSX server wasn't used, I'm not sure why. The directory structure looks like: /opt/tomcat/wars stores our war files These are pointed to from each site's (instance's) context file /opt/tomcat/instances/site-name1/ contains the conf, webapps (not used), logs etc Running version.sh returns: Using CATALINA_BASE: /opt/tomcat Using CATALINA_HOME: /opt/tomcat Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /opt/tomcat/temp Using JRE_HOME: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/ Versions/1.5/Home Server version: Apache Tomcat/5.5.25 Server built: Aug 24 2007 05:33:50 Server number: 5.5.25.0 OS Name:Mac OS X OS Version: 10.5.3 Architecture: i386 JVM Version:1.5.0_13-b05-237 JVM Vendor: Apple Inc. Any help would be appreciated. I'm fairly new to Tomcat, iceFaces etc so I'm not sure what caches where etc. Steve... if you want to redeploy an unpacked webapp, outside of TC, because I dont thing auto detection of a WAR will work, you have to also run this http://TheTC:8080/manager/deploy?config=file://path/to/context.xmlpath=/TheContextWanted and that context needs to have the correct docPath etc... Your successor was probably up to something like that... and probably because they trying to share static content or file uploads or something... The rest you on your own, it looks like they also have Mac bundles sharing a common TC binary... and inside those things one can make a whole virtual machine. So what they maybe up to is sharing static stuff... TC will detect a new html file and images and JSP changes without a full redeploy. So one TC uploads, the others can see it... probably something like that, but TC will have to be told when you doing a full redeploy. If they not sharing... then take the whole thing back to webapps, and even think about load sharing with Apache, because then that will hold the static content in one place and you have three TC's with one URL address... if they sharing the same content on 3 TC's with no load sharing, then URI cant be the same now. Ok now done guessing ;) something like that must be happening... good luck with your take over job ;) --- HARBOR : http://www.kewlstuff.co.za/index.htm The most powerful application server on earth.

Deployment issues
