404 during application redeploying

Hi, I'm using Tomcat 8.0.23 on Ubuntu 14.04. When I redeploy application
(by replacing WAR file), tomcat returns 404 for short period of time. Is
this intended?

I have found in:
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53024
Bug 53024 - Accessing Servlet while Reloading context gives 404 error
Mark Thomas 2012-05-08 19:08:09 UTC
"Thanks for the test case. This has been fixed in trunk and 7.0.x and will
be included in 7.0.28 onwards.
I also took the opportunity to improve the handling when a watched resource
(such as web.xml) changes. This is now handled with a reload (so no 404s)
rather than stop followed by a start."

It seems to me, that Tomcat should pause requests on redeploy instead of
returning 404. Or does this works differently for WAR files?

Thanks,
Pavel Cibulka

redeploy != reload

I see now. External context.xml seems good to me.

Thanks for help.

It depends.

redeploy != reload and which you get depends on circumstances. I
strongly recommend that you read this page:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/automatic-deployment.html

There are a number of ways you could get the reload behaviour you want.

1. Use an external context.xml file. Updates to the WAR would then only
result in a reload.

2. Use parallel deployment

HTH,
