I’m deploying my application to Tomcat, which currently involves uploading a ~40MB war file to a remote server.
Often the changes within the war only affect jars and static content which account for maybe 2 – 3MB’s. Is there some tooling I can integrate with my Ant script that can accurately detect the changes to the war and give me a smaller subset to upload?
I ended up writing an ant task to copy the relevant portions of the app, zip them up and deploy them on the server.
Simple, but effective.
