i have the following problem: in some situatuations i need to shutdown
tomcat to have something reloaded (it can have multiple reasons, but mostly
i'm changing some library in the classpath).
the problem that i now have is: while the server goes down and then up again
(it can take several minutes with my application) the user only sees the
"internal server error" page when requesting servlets.
but i would like to display some friendly page like "Our Server is down for
maintainance and will be up again in a few minutes".
has anyone done this, it there a simple way?
i'm running tomcat 3.2.3 with mod_jk, ajp12, apache 1.3.14 on a suse linux
7.1 box
thank you for any suggestions
