Kevin, I'm not sure there's another way to do a remote deploy. At least, this is how "every" command-line based deploy tool I've ever used has worked, including deployment tools included with Oracle App Server and other J2EE servers.
It might be nice if the tool would instead copy the war file, THEN undeploy, and finally deploy, but it seems like this is just generally not available, at least not from the command line tools. Wayne On 11/1/06, Kevin Jackson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

When they deploy, they first undeploy your application, then they copy the war file over from your client to the server, then they deploy the new war file (just copied over). This is ok if you have a fast connection between the client machine (running maven) and the server (running tomcat). But if you are doing this over the internet, the time you application is offline can be quite long as you must wait for the whole war file to be copied over while your app isn't available.
