Hi there, Has anybody done a hot redeploy of a web application context using Tomcat?
What I've got to work so far: *) simply overwrite JARs in the /webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/lib directory and reloading the application context runs ok *) however, if you really want to completeley redeploy a web application, I currently have not found any other solution than having to stop and start the application (which means putting the whole application down). ==> Is there really no way for simply exchanging a webapp during runtime? What about the most simple solution: 1.) putting up a new version (e.g. myapp2) 2.) using a redirect to redirect from myapp -> myapp2 (without the user noticing it) this would also make it easy to step back if troubles occur. any thoughts on this matter?
