Good afternoon all.
I now need to deploy my solutions on Windows *wipes tears from

Prozac?
The largest problem I have is that I have several frameworks, all
in use by several apps. If I want to upgrade any of these
frameworks, I have to turn off each and every WO App on the server,
otherwise I can't replace the frameworks (i get an "In use by
another application" message). Is there any way to get around this?
For deployment we never use frameworks from /Library/Frameworks (C:
\Apple\Local\Library\Frameworks IIRC). We either install them under
the .woa for each app or in a separate location for each app. This
not only allows what you want, but deploying an update for one
application does not require testing of the other applications. It is
fairly easy to replace LOCALROOT with APPROOT in the generated
classpath files and then install the frameworks in App.woa/Contents/
Library/Frameworks
I'm also leaning away from using /Library/WebObjects/Extensions for
the same reason. You can include an extensions directory under the
application, hmm, don't recall where at the moment...
It is terrible having to shut down a dozen mission critical apps,
just to upgrade one of them.
Worse than running mission critical apps on Windows? :-P
