Deployment: Multiple site webapps deployment

[Siya Ntombela]

Hi,

I'd like to find out if Hippo (7.9) supports deployment of multiple site.wars in a single container? (ie. site.war, site1.war, site2.war)

Thank you.

Regards,
Siya

Hi Siya,

We are planning to add support for this feature as part of the 7.9 GA release, which is scheduled to be released 2 to 3 months from now. Currently, Hippo CMS 7.9.0 does not yet support deployment of multiple site.wars in a single container.

The work we are planning to do is based on several feature requests from customers. We would like to hear more about your specific use case or technical needs as we would like to validate our approach to as many scenarios as possible.

Kind regards,

Well, a tiny bit more specific is to say that the channel manager
currently not yet supports multiple site wars but only the (sub)sites
of a single war. If it is acceptable to only show the sites of a
single war in the channel manager, then you are already good to go
with 7.9 FCS

Thanks for the speedy feedback guys.

Our use case requires that we run 3 or more sites off the same CMS (CMS.war) with different content folders. But the downside is when site3 gets a major update, all three sites would have to be taken down for the redeployment process.

Unless there's another way around this?

Regards,
Siya

Your use case is a valid one and exactly why we will add the multi
site war support.

You can currently already work as you now explained if you for now
accept that only one of the site war its site can be exposed in the
channel manager. Then you are good to go with the 7.9.0 FCS. As
mentioned, in the GA, we will include multi site war support.

Chiming in a bit late, but if you create a nice loadbalanced environment, not sites have to go down when doing an update. You can just update single instances of the delivery nodes.
