Hi, what is the best practice to replace a webapp with a newer version in production?
I'm using Tomcat 6.0.29, with unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="false". All Webapps reside in appBase, some have a machine-specific context descriptor, that I manually copy to conf/Catalina/localhost. I use the Tomcat Manager (via HTML-Interface) to deploy applications. What is the recommended way to upgrade a webapp to a newer version (same war name, same desired context path)? The HTML manager has no "redeploy" option. "deploy" is not possible as the context already exists. I tried to put the new war file into appBase, and use reload, but that won't update the expanded directory to the new war file. What I did is: * undeploy * copy new war file * deploy This is cumbersome as I have to switch forth and back between manager and file operations. Is there a better way?
