How to update webapp on many Tomcats ???

[Neil Upfalow <ne...@iamodules.com>]

How can I best update a webapp that is running on tomcat instances
running on many different linux servers ?

I made a JSP that downloads a file from a central server and extracts
it. Problem is permissions don't get set as I want for those files. Java
has no permission ability. I suppose I could use a runtime exec() to
untar with permissions.

2nd problem is how to best restart the tomcat webapp? Modify the web.xml
? is there a simple example to restart it? My hosting company uses
tanuki wrapper on the JVM. Tomcat has it's programmatic API manager. 

Any ideas ?

Sincerely,
Neil Upfalow
