Struts - 24 x 7 Compatible

[Puneet Agarwal <pu...@delhi.tcs.co.in>]

Hi all,
Would it be possible and desired to make struts based applications be
available on 24x 7 basis.
What I mean is for a struts based application deployed in production
environment, the possible downtimes are two
1.   Dependency down - like Database backup.
2.   Next Release of the application to fix the bugs, or an upgradation.

I target the second point. Now as regards to feasibility, I don't think
that is a problem, we can easily start a thread to address the best
possible design.

all I am trying right now is only the acceptability, do other people also
require this, and how does it fit with the struts future plans.

Regards,
Puneet Agarwal

I've been hot-releasing new versions of Struts apps for years (on Resin) 
so I don't see that this issue has anything to do with Struts. It has to 
do with making all session objects serializable, and proper 
configuration of the app server to preserve sessions over a restart.

Is there more you have in mind?

Will
