Chuck, Thank you for the quick informative reply. My main objective is to have my client's URL not change and have any redirection to a different version be transparent to them.
What exactly would you recommend? Since I've never seen the webapps/production#1.0.war approach, I would have to experiment to see how that exactly works. Would a redirection filter only be sufficient? Thanks again for your input!
