stop/start Axis to redeploy?

[Dave Overbeck <do...@rcn.com>]

Hello,

I've been debugging a web service and have discovered that in order to 
deploy a new version of the .class file, I have to stop Axis (in the 
Tomcat Manager screen) and then start it again. I have a batch file that 
undeploys, copies the class file, and then deploys, but that does not 
have any effect.

Is this the expected behavior? I was banging my head for a while 
yesterday until I figured out that I was running the same class file for 
the last hour. I don't see anything in the docs that specifically says 
either way.

Thanks,
Dave

Hi, I've had similar experience.  Depends on the privilege of the user
you are running the batch, it may not be able to override the previous
code on the application server.

What has worked for me is, instead of copying the .class files into the
WEB-INF/classes, make the batch script to jar up the class files and
place/replace the jar in the WEB-INF/lib directory.

Hope this works for you.

Dave,

Yes, that is the correct behavior...not only for deploying new classes to
Axis, but for
any Web Application deployed to Tomcat.  Also, if you make any changes to
the server-config.wsdd
you need to stop and start Axis for the changes to be applied...

Hope this helps,
