So first, I'd be glad to. Just to be clear-- I'm not in need of a lecture, but will willingly take one if anyone can help me get down to a solution. My first attempt at asking for some assistance was met with crickets. I haven't figured out why when I post (what I think are) well written, well researched and discussion-provoking questions they get no traction but if I cry "the sky is falling" folks are more willing to attempt to lend a hand. Here's my go at attempt #3:
I have a tomcat cluster. It is set up with much care according to http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/cluster-howto.html. It mostly works fine. On occasion (twice a week or so) there will be one or more servers which didn't get the message that a new war was deployed (continuous deployment using the tomcat parallel deployment scheme. e.g. theapp##007.war) and they happily continue to run the old version of the war. In a farm deployment scenario, the master node will announce to the cluster a new artifact is available and then the clustered tomcats will retrieve and deploy the new artifact. I can't pin down the problem, but let just say for argument's sake it is a true link-down situation. There doesn't seem to exist a mechanism to re-announce, or announce at regular intervals. This seems like a real weakness in the scheme. That makes me think I'm missing something obvious. If it works like it says it should in the docs I shouldn't be having this issue. Either there's something wrong with my config or there's a problem with tomcat. Based on the hair I have left after pulling mine out, I'm leaning toward a problem with tomcat. Is anyone leveraging FarmWebDeployer and Parallel Deployment in their architecture successfully? If so, DenverCoder9, what did you see?!?
