OC4J Question

[Veri Strora]

Hi All!
I have a J2EE Application (App.ear), that often change. For every deploy I stop and start the app server (OC4J).
There is any risk if I adopt the "HOT DEPLOYMENT"?
(The application contain EJB, Servlet ecc.).

Thanks in advance, Veri.

Hot deploy works just fine most of the time, but it is safer to restart oc4j.

Hi. Based on my experience most deployments go fine, but sometimes wierd things do happen. If you have the time I'd do a stop/start. I'll also say I've had fewer problems on 10gAS (9.0.4) than 9iAS V2 (9.0.2). I'd recommend creating separate OC4J instances for each application. Sometimes things do get hosed up and I have to delete and OC4J instance and redeploy. That's not common but it has happened.

Thanks,
Mike
