Hello All, I'm currently running mid-sized website (load balanced across
five servers). Its a fairly large web application with a front and a
back-end. In production, the application is sitting exploded in a
directory which tomcats point at. It looks rather like a development
sandbox. I do this because our web people need to modify the content
(JSPs) of the website on a fairly regular basis. Right now, they can
just "cvs update" the webapp directory and things work great.
However, this is a bit of a deployment nightmare. Everytime I need to
push out a new version of the core servlets, I have to manually update
each and every sandbox on each server. I would MUCH rather use a .war
file to deploy to each server and let tomcat deal with things (since the
website is really starting to grow). Is there any way to deploy a .war
file and then let people modify the JSPs in it? Complicating things is
that we use CVS for everything, and new JSPs make their way to the site
via a cvs update.
Right now, it seems like everytime someone changed a JSP, I'd have to
re-deploy the entire thing, when really its just a few JSPs that have
changed. The web guys update the site an average of 10-20 times per day.
Any suggestions? Seems like this would be a pretty common problem, but
I've found nothing on google, et al. Do I have to move to some sort of
content management system, where the servlets and JSPs remain static and
the data comes from a DB?
Thanks for any help or suggestions!
