Question

I have jBoss running on Linux that runs a Java SOAP webservice. I normally deal with none of those on a day-to-day basis, so can’t give many specifics. The webservice is a heartbeat for another part of the system. Given the design of the system (which we are going to be changing soon, hopefully), we cannot take the server “out of rotation” to patch it. What I’m wondering is there a specific way to disable only the webservice running the heartbeat while allowing the other web stuff to continue?

Answer 1

If it lives in its own .war, remove the .war from $tomcat_home/webapps – the service will come down (and the rest will stay up).
