HowTo remotly and permanently redeploy an application ???
Hi,
I would like to remotly update an *existing* web-application via the
/manager application
in tomcat4. Is there any possibility to do this ?
Unfortunately you cannot redeploy an application with the same war-file
(since it does not get unpacked)
I can update it with a renamed new war-file. The problem is: After reboot,
there
are two context-roots. Even worse: the original root points to the old war
file !
Any workaround for my problem ?
Example:
** Does not work at all: **
*****************************
http://localhost:7000/manager/install?path=/vbh-wc&war=jar:http://m22da/vbh-
wc.war!/
http://localhost:7000/manager/remove?path=/vbh-wc
change somthing
http://localhost:7000/manager/install?path=/vbh-wc&war=jar:http://m22da/vbh-
wc.war!/
** Does only work until next reboot: **
*************************************
http://localhost:7000/manager/install?path=/vbh-wc&war=jar:http://m22da/vbh-
wc_Version_1.war!/
http://localhost:7000/manager/remove?path=/vbh-wc
change somthing
http://localhost:7000/manager/install?path=/vbh-wc&war=jar:http://m22da/vbh-
wc_Version_2.war!/
after reboot
==> webapp/vbh-wc_version1 << == the old one wins and is vbh-wc UARGH !
webapp/vbh-wc_version2 << == ok, but runs as vbh-wc_version2 !!!!

Sure - use the JBoss/Tomcat4 Bundle
(http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22866) and simply
copy your new war file on top of your old one in the auto-deploy
directory ($JBOSS_DIST/deploy/). It uses a new ClassLoader every time
and maintains the same context-root.
