Hello everybody,
Im currently working on a webapp using tomcat as application server. As we got a lot of users and the server was not able to handle them all alone, we run 2 instances of tomcat and we use load balancing through a workers.properties file in apache2 directory. I need to redeploy my application often and I would like to make it without cutting the access to users. In order to do that, I use maven to redeploy the application on each instance, one after the other. This works fine but the load balancer doesnt detect that an instance is being unavailable and still tries to redirect to it (and it displays a blank page). So here is my question: is there a way for the load balancer to detect that it should not use one instance the time its being redeployed? Thanks in advance, Stéphane
