I have had a good experience doing the parallel deployment with the latest stable build of tomcat7, by using autoDeploy after copying a newer version of WAR to the appbase. As i can see from my manager app, there are 2 versions running, the newer one is serving new requests as expected.
The problem is that, although with undeployOldVersions=true, the old version of the webapp is still there. >From what i've seen from catalina.out, there's a ThreadLocal issues that are being used by 3rd party classes and i assumes this is the output of the undeployment process failing. Is there a way that i can 'force' the undeployOldVersions ? I've thought about using ant task to undeploy, but it seems that i cannot specify the version to undeploy. -- Do not pursue the past.
