That's a relief! Thanks for the info. Mike E.

There are actually no changes to an application that require you to stop and start the server. I guess the only thing that would require server restarts are changes to "server-level" things like the authenthication system the server is using and possibly things like connection pools and other server-provided resources. In my own experience, changes to JSP's, servlets etc.. typically do not require you to do anything. The server just handles the change itself automatically.

That sounds bad. Guess we'll have to quit writing bugs! But seriously, how do you get around that? If I'm running just a single appserver instance, I'm pretty much screwed. I have to take down all of my apps to fix one. If I'm running clustered appservers, can I take each one down individually and deploy the fix while the others are handling incoming requests? Mike E.

No way to deploy a fix to a broken app without taking down the server? Well, now WAS-E running on a single node looks really attractive -- as long as we never deploy an app with a bug in it. We usually only deploy apps late at night, but every so often we do have to put in a fix ASAP. Now I have to take down the entire app server? Ugh, I can't wait. Mike E. > From: David Gibbs > > There are other tools available that are more robust than ANT ... > but they aren't free. "Tools"? As in deployment tools? Some sort of add-on tool that will deploy applications? I don't understand how that would work with WAS. The only way I know to deploy to WAS is via an EAR file (or, to a limited degree, with a WAR file). There are no other tools, because the WAS folks insist that they are following the "J2EE standard" and that's all they need to do. Unfortunately, the more I look into it, the more I realize that J2EE isn't really standard for business applications. No concept of net change deployment, no ability to hot install without bringing down the server, and now I find that there's no way to run a post-installation script. As far as I can tell, the J2EE deployment model is pretty much just a way to occasionally install a tool. It certainly is no model for business application deployment.
