Automatic deploy of services on a cluster

[Davide Romanini <d....@cineca.it>]

Hi,

I'm writing web services using Axis. Each time I modify my code, I
create a new jar file, put it in WEB-INF/lib and then use AdminClient to
deploy my .wsdd.

This works fine when the server is only one (my local machine or test
environment). But the production environment is a cluster of 6 machines
in load balancing, with shared file system. That means that if I run
AdminClient, the server-config.wsdd is correctly updated and seen by all
six tomcat instances, but really only one machine (the one answered me
when I ran AdminClient) effectively published the service.

I'm also not sure if the AdminClient simply change the
server-config.wsdd file or actually reload my new classes. If it don't,
it means that I actually need to reload the axis context in each single
tomcat instance! How can I deploy in such environment in a fast way?

Thanks in advance,

bye,
Davide Romanini

run "org.apache.axis.utils.Admin" to generate the server-config.wsdd
and put that into your shared file system.
