[Winstone-devel] Temp Folder Cleanup

[Bruno F. <bf...@br...>]

Hi Rick,

thanks for writing the Winstone Servlet engine!

When I use the war file feature with a war, containing newer releases
of WEB-INF/lib jars, the temp folder keeps the old releases. So the
web app might not see the new lib (masked by the old one) until the
user manually deletes the temp folder before starting the engine.
In your code, you overwrite only older files, that exist in the war
archive. What would you say to cleanup all files, older than the war,
in a separate step. something like inserting this:

	ArrayList<File> files = new
ArrayList<File>(Arrays.asList(unzippedDir.listFiles()));
	for (int i = 0; i < files.size(); i++) {
		File f = files.get(i);
		if (f.isDirectory())
			files.addAll(Arrays.asList(f.listFiles()));
		else if (f.lastModified() < warfileRef.lastModified())
			f.delete();
	}

at line 241 and remove line 253, 254.
(not tested, just an idea)

Thanks,
Bruno
