Advanced War deployment
I have one commercial project and want to deploy it throw .war deployment
process.
My application uses external libs (10 mb) which must presents in WEB-INF\lib
dir. All app size is 12mb.
How can i avoid of putting all that libs in .war file and transfer only
actual content of my app in one file?
For example I put all except libs in .war and deploy it. Then tomcat replace
only changed file and do not delete already deployes libs.
Maybe I can use ANT script to replace Tomcat .war deploy/undeploy
procedure?

I want to know is the ability to modify .war deploy/undeploy logic with
custom actions(i.e/ ant script)?
or mamy use some tomcat mechanism to watch on .zip file modification in some
directory and run ant script which can modify files in my webapp dir and
restart app context

well create a directory on the clients machine called home/something
and put all files you'd have in your war file there. (like in jar -xf
myapp.war).
Than if you want to update anything, you just update the part you need
in this directory; same for the client, if he wants to update some
html files or whatever, he does it in this directory.
Than you write a small ant script which creates a war file out of this
directory with ant-war task. And another target that copies it into
tomcat/webapps. So you have to transfer only the data you need to the
client's machine (which i understood was your main concern), build the
new war locally and deploy it.
If you create same directory structure on your machine, you could
write a small ant-script which zips only files changed since some
date, copy this zip to the client's machine. The above mentioned
script on clients machine could automatically unzip your changes into
its installation directory and build the new war.

hmm,
why don't you put the expanded web-app structure on the client's
machine somewhere else than under tomcat, put your new files therein
and repackage the .war on the machine directly?

One should avoid uploading files into application's directory. You
should treat is as a read only one. Place uploaded files in some other
location, i.e. other tomcat's context or separate directory. Then you'll
have no problems with (un)deploying.

All libs MUST be in WEB-INF/lib. And i want to use standart procedure of
detecting new .war and its deployment process BUT a want to manually control
what files to undelpoy during this process
Thus i can prevent that libs ant CLIENT UPLOADED FILES to delete from
unpacked dir for .WAR

Why is the size of war file is a problem for you? You can put all
content from WEB-INF/lib to common/lib or shared/lib. But such solution
has several drawbacks and you should be aware of them:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/class-loader-howto.html
On the other hand, if you want just to save bandwith when deploying new
wersion of application you could use i.e. rsync to transfer war file to
remote server, and then deploy remote file.
