I think you misunderstood me. When running the WAR file (in the webapps directory) with the tomcat server.xml variable UNPACK_WAR set to FALSE, tomcat is not supposed to unpack the war file at all. It does however create a work directory so that it can create temporary files, etc. However in order to do file IO, this means the servlet needs to use ServletContext.getResource() or ServletContext.getResourceAsStream(). Resources cannot write to resources in a WAR (which I assume cocoon does). So my guess is that cocoon cannot run as a WAR under tomcat with UNPACK set to false.
