Hi Jonathan, I also used antiResourceLocking flag in context.xml. Once the flag is set to true, Tomcat starts exploding web application in temp directory. It works well for me in Linux and Windows environment, but in AIX, I cannot even start tomcat with antiResourceLocking flag set to true.
When I saw the my application folder in temp, I saw all files were of zero bytes. And in the catalina logs I see it gives SAX parse exception. Well since all files including web.xml is of 0 bytes, then tomcat cannot start. Have you noticed this problem. I am using tomcat 6.018.
