[[chef-dev]] Re: [[chef-dev]] how to make a wait time til the operation completes like Thread sleep

[Nathan Pahucki < >]

Sounds like things may be fundamentally setup wrong. Perhaps you should 
externalize whatever configuration you want to change so that you don't need 
to explode the wars at all. If the configuration is external to the war then 
chef will have no problem writing these files and tomcat can be re/started 
after the files are written. You have several options with tomcat for 
externalization; you could use properties files that your app reads from the 
home directory, or you can use environment configuration specifying values in 
a context.xml, or an external applicationConfig.xml if you are using Spring.

If you can't externalize, please explain why so we can help you think of 
other solutions.
