Fwd: FarmWarDeployer

Trying the dev list...

Hello,

Is FarmWarDeployer ready for use? I have played around with it a little but
have been unsuccessful so far. Is there any documentation of this that I
have missed? I haven't been able to figure out how context configuration is
done for this deployer, but I noticed some oddities - e.g. that the context
name is determined by the name of the war file. Is there a working set of
functionality that FarmWarDeployer handles now, or should I just stay away
from it altogether?

Thanks,
Brian O'Rourke

Hey!

At development with Tomcat 5.5.9 and 5.5.12 I have successful used 
FarmWarDeployer, but
    -   you lost your complete session information at your cluster
    -   Use it without waitForAck or with a great ackTimeout ( > 
deployment time)
    -   only one config can have watchEnabled="true"
    -   directories must be writeable ( tempDir, deploydir, watchDir)

             <Deployer 
className="org.apache.catalina.cluster.deploy.FarmWarDeployer"
                      tempDir="${catalina.base}/cluster/temp"
                      deployDir="${catalina.base}/webapps"
                      watchDir="${catalina.base}/cluster/watch"
                      watchEnabled="@node.watchEnabled@"
                      processDeployFrequency="2"/>

At production sites I shutdown all tomcat nodes, copy the new war files 
and start all nodes again.
Don't start next node before other node is complete up.

regards
Peter

Thanks for the replies. Your and Peter's reasoning make sense. Hot deploy
feels very attractive for quick and easy bugfixes, but the risks of doing
that in a production environment are fairly great. Sounds like I will be
using a setup very similar to Peter's for production.

Thanks again,
Brian O'Rourke

It is ready, but it is also very basic. like it only deploys .war files, 
and as with any prod app, I would recommend not using hot deploy in 
production anyway
