How do I know when a JEE app is undeployed?

I need to close some streams when my jee app is undeployed to avoid pages of exceptions in the server.log every time I undeploy. The Exceptions say: "Input stream has been finalized or forced closed without being explicitly closed". I know how to close (with the close() method), but I dont know when. finallize() comes too late, @PreDes...

Managing software with custom local patches

Hi, I'm trying to find a way to deploy software with custom patches in production. The base software is opensource with their own repos (SVN) and we've got some patches to select only for one service and not the other (so we've got base+patchA+patchB on one server and base+patchA+patchC on another). Everything will be deployed as packag...

Increase reliability of capistrano deploys

I've used capistrano for a long time, but always for sites that weren't critical. If something went wrong, a few minutes of downtime weren't a big problem. Now I'm working on a more critical service and need to cover my edge cases. One of which is if my local connection to a server becomes interrupted in the middle of a deployment. One...

Living on the edge: can I change a constant string in a deployed asp.net website page dll?

(Unfortunately, this question is about a non-recommended practice. While I appreciate advise against doing what I request here, I know it isn't good practice anyway, but every now and then we just have to and open our trick bag ;-)) In a situation where we accidentally published an asp.net website, without updatability, with one wrong U...

I've got a relatively simple project that is under source control (svn), and I wanted to create an installer.

Unfortunately, it seems that files including externa...
