FW: Tomcat 7.0.40 on Win2k8 occasionally does not deploy war file on restart

[Adam Scarborough <ad...@mmodal.com>]

Hi

I was wondering if anyone can help

We have an issue with with tomcat7 deploying wars on server2k8 which is quite perplexing:

Essentially the normal and desired procedure is that we build a new set of wars (using jenkins) which are then moved to an output directory, this change in the output directory is detected by puppet, which then overwrites the war file in the tomcat webapps folder and restarts the tomcat7 service (we have hot deployment disabled and deployonstartup enabled) On startup tomcat unpacks the war files to the folder inside the webapps directory. This happens 95% of the time.

However

We noticed an issue occasionally that the new version of the webapp would not be deployed after starting tomcat. At this point we noticed some access denied errors (sometimes) when the deployment failed. At this point we thought this may be due to windows file locking behaviour, At this point we enabled antiResourceLocking in the hopes that these would go away - They did however we still have a seemingly separate issue where webapps deploy into the temp folder, and the log reports successful deployment with no errors. However the version in the webapps folder is not updated and the previous version of the webapp is brought up by tomcat. We have been unable to locate anything in the logs which might tell us what is going on.

Any help would be appreciated

Adam

Just a little question to describe the issue further : are all of the above local 
directories on that server, or are there network shares involved ?
