While uploading war file, running webapplication must not be stopped

           Summary: While uploading war file, running webapplication must
                    not be stopped
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.19
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Webapps:Manager
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: vspa@mail.ru


Hi, everybody.

There is a problem with manager (I use it via ant tasks from catalina-ant.jar). 
I hoped, it would be solved in 5.x generation of tomcat, but apparently it's 
not, so I decided to fill in this request.

Suppose I have a webapplication running on a production server and I want to 
replace it with newer version. Ant "deploy" task (even with 
attribute "update=true") does the following: first undeploy existing app, then 
upload new war (depending on connection, in my case, it can take up to 2 
minutes), then deploy it. 

All that time, while war file was uploading, webapplication was inaccessible, 
also, if uploading failed for some reasons, webapp is left in undeployed state.

So, my suggestion is to change behaviour of manager "deploy" functionality in 
such a way, that war file first gets uploaded to the server, and only after 
that the process of redeployment starts.
