I use the ant tasks to control the manager app, but I run Tomcat locally for development and just use 'install' or 'reload' with it pointed at the directory containing the webapp. In your situation, I'd try stopping the webapp before deploying the new version in .war form. If you're using the HTML version, take a look at the ant tasks to automate it. > While I do not care about the disk space used for the storage > of war files, I am concerned about the RAM consumed if each webapp on the > server brings multiple copies of the same libraries into memory. RAM is also cheap. :) Much cheaper than the debugging time you will spend trying to figure out why strange things are happening. Don't borrow trouble. Have you actually profiled your app and watched how much memory it's using? -- Wendy Smoak Application Systems Analyst, Sr. ASU IA Information Resources Management --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
