The deployOnStartup attribute is not working for me.

Here's the snippet of my server.xml file:
      <Host name="localhost"  appBase="webapps"
            unpackWARs="true" deployOnStartup="true" autoDeploy="false"
            xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">

If I copy a new war file and restart tomcat, I do not see any changes
made in the directory that the application expands to.

In my webapps directory, the war file is actually a symbolic link to the
actual war file that resides elsewhere.  Just in case the symbolic link
was causing the problem I removed it, and copied the newer war file
directly to the webapps directory.  Then I restarted tomcat.  I still
did not see any changes made to my application directory.

Am I missing something else?
Thanks,
Beth

Always a good idea to read the manual
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/deployer-howto.html

also a good idea to read the comments carefully

Autodeploy
"If the Host autoDeploy attribute is "true", the Host will attempt to
deploy
and
update web applications dynamically, as needed, for example if a new
WAR is dropped into the appBase.
For this to work, the Host needs to have background processing enabled
which
is the
default configuration."

so leave autodeploy=false

"deployonStartup will be deployed on Tomcat startup only if the Host's
deployOnStartup
attribute is "true"."

so leave deployOnStartup = true

If I set the autoDeploy attribute to "true", then the application gets
dynamically deployed - I do NOT want that behavior.  So I've set that
attribute to "false".  But I would like the war file to be deployed when
tomcat is restarted - that is the behavior I'm trying to get, and hoping
to configure via configuration parameters.  Maybe the only way to
accomplish this is by deleting the directory at startup?

Thanks,
Beth

Hi,



I am trying to configure Tomcat to only reploy my application war file
when Tomcat is started up.  I have set the autoDeploy attribute in
server.xml to false - this prevents my application from deploying
dynamically, which is the behavior that I want.  But then when I restart
Tomcat I would like my new war file to be deployed at that time, but
that is not happening (unless I delete the associated directory first).



Are there any configuration parameters that will ensure the war file
gets deployed at startup, but NOT dynamically when the application is
running?



Thanks,

Beth
