Hi all,

Is anybody on this list using Ant to redeploy war files to
an Apache(mod_webapp)->Tomcat setup?

I have several servlets already deployed, configured, and working correctly on the following setup:

Apache (1.3.26), mod_webapp (machine 1)
Tomcat 4.1.12 (machine 2)

The redeployment seems to work correctly, but unfortunately when I access
the URL I am often returned a blank page (no errors) instead of seeing my servlet.

Restarting apache cures the problem.

It is occasionally possible (randomly?) to access the new servlet without a restart, but mostly not.

The symptoms seem to imply to me that only new WARP connections created
since the redeployment are able to access the servlet, whereas connections
that had been existing prior to it get confused and can't see the newly
redeployed servlet.

Has anybody else noticed this behaviour? Is it a bug in mod_webapp ?

This is what I would expect to happen; AFAIK, mod_webapp, mod_jk etc. all create socket connections to Tomcat. In order to re-deploy your web app, Tomcat stops and restarts the context, which closes one end of the socket. Therefore Apache has to be restarted in order to reconnect to Tomcat properly.
