How do you deploy your app in the production environment

Hi.

I'm using JBoss AS in a production environment and I need to be able to update a web application without kill the session of the users that are using it.

Is there a standard way to do that?

For while I'm deploying my application in non critical hours, but sometimes you have to fix a bug as soon as possible.

I was thinking in keep 2 versions of the application in the server and redirect the traffic to the new one. I could deploy a new version of the application and keep the old version till the last user do the logout.

Is there another way to do that? Maybe using clustering or something like that.

how do you deal with it?

thanks

Currently there is no standard way of doing this. However we plan on adding graceful shutdown to the 7.1 release, which then should support rolling deployments without killing the session.

Hi Emanuel, thanks for replying.

I don't understand exactly how it will work, but I'm sure it's gonna be a very usefull functionality.

While we don't have this new feature working, I would like to know how people do this nowadays.
Does everybody waits till non critical hours to update their applications?
