This would only be a problem if Tomcat's "work" directory was shared, right? Or do I have things wrong thinking that WAR files are expanded into the work directory rather than the webapps dir? I use expanded WAR files so I don't know the procedure (though expanding into the webapps directory doesn't make much sense IMO). > Alternatively write a deployment script, (using Ant, perhaps), that > uploads the war and restarts each server separately. +1 This is a good idea for uninterrupted service, too: you always have one or more servers that are still serving requests, instead of all of them restarting (practically) at once. > (Also the context.xml file shouldn't usually contain the path or docBase > attributes, especially if it's in the expected place > app.war/META-INF/context.xml) A context.xml file should never contain a 'path' attribute, and should only contain a docBase when it's placed in CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/[engine]/whatever.xml. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAko3n+kACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PABWgCcDdX5QXpb55iR1aEvXfNEZ5cn BQgAniqgQwBlEgyDvDNjfo4Br6D8GHrh =JATR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
