How to redirect to stub page when app unavailable?

[Darren Kukulka <Da...@connaught.plc.uk>]

Hi Tomcat Users,

 

I'm trying to formulate a clever method of providing a stub page, 'under
maintenance' if you will, for when we are building a new version of a
Tomcat served application : i.e. when Tomcat is offline - we need to
keep it offline during the build as there are back-end DB updates that
require no activity via the application.

 

We are using Apache web server with mod_jk connectivity to the app
servers via a large number of workers.

 

Can anybody suggest a smart way of achieving this?

 

Cheers in advance,

 

Darren K

I haven't used mod_jk for a long time, but I'm pretty sure you'll get a
503 status generated if it can't reach Tomcat.

Just customize the Apache 503 error page to taste...

HTH,
