[Answered] Deployment too slow?

[cridus]

So, today I made a small change in one file of my .war, and redeployed it. The deployment has been pending for around 2 hours, even though the wiki says it shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes (I didn't change the .war's name).

I'd just like to know why it takes so long. How does the deployment process work?

[Krydos]

The deployment got hung up because Tomcat was refusing to undeploy the previous .war. I've never seen it do that before. Thanks for reporting it.

Oh, ok. Could it be because something was still being in use? Though I don't open up any "closeable" resource, besides the database connections that are managed by a library (which never gave me any problems when undeploying an app).

No it has nothing to do with you or your .war file. The server was just being strange. I've tested it a dozen times since then using your same .war and a bunch of other .wars and it has worked every time since. Not sure what the deal was, but as long as it doesn't happen again no big deal I guess.
