[HIVEMIND-182] undeploying of webapps in Servlet container

• Type: Bug

Description

The hot undeployment of war files is not working from the tomcat environment, because the hivemind is blocked by a file handle.

The necessary libraries (hivemind, tapestry) are normally bundled in the war file.

The only way around it is to either have the jar files in your common/lib folder of the tomcat or to restart the service. But this has serious drawbacks in a productive environment, because the service might be used in different projects, too.

The message in the Tomcat Manager is: OK - Undeployed application at context path <application_name>

There is no error message in the log files. Process Explorer shows that there is one handle on the file.

Anyone has information about this bug.
