Salut,
I'll let the deployment experts chime in but pre-GlassFish 3.1, redeployment of applications usually involves having the application to be unavailable for a (rather short) period of time which users possible experiencing 404's or 503's (IIRC).
Now, starting with GlassFish 3.1 we have a new feature called "Application versioning" which enables you to deploy a new version in disabled mode and switch to that new version by simply enabling it, thus cutting down on the upload and deployment time. Check out this documentation section for more details -
