Tomcat Parallel Deployment - Go to older version

Question

Let's say that I have two deployments running on my Tomcat:

• myApp##1.war
• myApp##2.war

So fresh sessions will go to the 2nd app; but is there a way to get into the 1st app?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Currently the capability you're asking for is not implemented in parallel deployment: the only way to access the old version of your application is to provide a valid session ID (like a cookie) for the older version, otherwise ALL expired sessions/new sessions will be directed to the newer version.
