--- Comment #10 from Francisco A. Lozano <floz...@gmail.com> --- The deploy/redeploy tooling we have had around since tomcat 6 works that way, and it's easier to manage just a WAR file in webapps than a WAR file and a exploded directory. I seem to recall that keeping them in sync was problematic, as tomcat may be down when the WAR is reinstalled. I think there is value in existing tomcat6/7 behaviour - the "interface" that users have to deal with is just simpler, and it makes it more difficult to shoot yourself in the foot without paying performance penalty. In T8, the current options are either large performance penalty paid or having to deal with a slightly more complex deployment. I understand the 'unpackWARS="false" really should mean exactly that' statement, but existing behaviour in T6/7 is valuable and is relied upon - so maybe the new 'really don't unpack anything' behaviour could be a separate feature, but existing one in my opinion should still be available. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
