Redeployment Query

Hello Guys..


        I am using geronimo 2.0.0.1 (wasce) for hosting my web application.
During each deployment I have to do the following steps.
1. Stop the war file
2. Uninstall the war file
3. then redeploy the new war file.

      My problem is once I do uninstallation my files which are stored by
the application is lost. The new war file does not contain my new files. Is
there any mechanism to prevent  the files from already deployed war file.
That is I should be able to get the extra files after the new war file is
deployed..


Please give your tips on this..

Regards,
Jithesh

As I said, don't do that.  Put the files in an external directory  
under var.

If you really want to write an app that lets users modify it by  
uploading content, jsps,  viruses, etc into the app itself, I'd look  
into the in-place deployment option.

Thanks for your response...

          My actual problem is in my app, the uploaded images and files will
store in the deployed app directory. If I do a deployment with new war file
the already deployed folder will get deleted (The directory where files and
images are stored also). I want to preserve that folder during each
redeployment. Just like a overwriting procedure..

          Will that be doable with thsi approach...

Don't have your application modify itself by storing data inside the  
application.  Instead, create a data directory for your application in  
<geronimo-home>/var/.  I started some documentation on this here:
