What is the reason for this behavior? It seems quite counterintuitive. If I package a new version of my application with updated configuration, I usually expect that this configuration is used when I deploy this application, esp. with the manager deployment functionality. If I want to deploy the application on different tomcat installations, I have to delete the file from CATALINA_BASE/conf on each one, and it even might have a different path on each. So this behavior causes more work for my use case, and I have to do s.th. in addition to the standard deployment call. Is there a benefit from it? > Mark Rainer --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
