Tomcat problem redeploying:

In the catalina log file we see this error message in some cases when the web application are tried to be redeployed:

INFO: Deploying web application archive ROOT.war
13-May-2009 09:50:09 org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext processTlds

It looks like the application is re-deployed due to the fact that the NAS (network attached storage) is temporarily not accessible. It could be that authority means "cannot access' but I like to understand the reason and the message.

thanks

we're not actively redeploying ROOT.war, Tomcat has decided to do that. All code is on a NAS and we think there are issues with the connection to it. Unfortunately we do not administer the machine so difficult to debug.

Well, Tomcat will re-deploy an app automatically if it detects changes to it's web.xml (I think there are some other conditions too). I think that might cause some pretty strange problems if the appBase or docBase is on a NAS and the connection gets dropped - I'm not sure if that's really a good way to have it configured.

I agree with you that it is not a good way but we were forced to... We have changed the deploying properties and since then a number of issues have disappeared...The error message however is still there but does not seem to do any harm sofar.
