deployment starts before file being copied completely

[amit mehta <am...@mphasis.com>]

Hello,

 

Environment: jre1.5.0.11, Tomcat 5.5.23, Linux Redhat

 

I have tomcat installed on one of the linux box. On an another box I have
automatic build set up done which creates war files at scheduled intervals.
I copy the war file using the scp command on to the webapps directory of
running tomcat server. My issue is that before the war file is completely
copied in the webapps directory, tomcat starts deploying it and hence
results in error. 

 

Is there a way to control/restrict this behavior so that tomcat does not
start deploying before war file is completely copied?

 

Tx,

 

Amit

Nothing out of the box: you'll have to roll your own solution.

You could get around this by targeting your scp to a temporary
directory, and then moving the file to the deployment directory.

If you use the manager application, you might have better luck uploading
the WAR through that to update it, since I'm guessing the manager app
uses a upload-to-temp-location-then-deploy strategy.
