Cool, I think we can change it. One thing I found is that deploy/undeploy
are also
supported by Tomcat 5.0.x release. I think this change will allow to deploy
on both
versions.

Hi, Philip & Cedric,
I stopped at these two threads. I am not sure whether antiJarLocking
works or not
to hackyDevSite under Tomcat 5.5

It seems that there is no way to disable the war folder copy.
I do not think you are correct. Here's some additional info:
- The links cited above question whether you can hotDeploy/undeploy in
Tomcat 5.5. I've been hotDeploying and hotUndeploying hackystat using
Tomcat 5.5.12 all morning, and watching the hackystat folder disappear
from and reappear into the webapps directory. So far, Hackystat seems to
be OK under 5.5.12. The only major issue I've discovered under 5.5.12 is
that you need to do a deploySoap even for a quickStart, which didn't use
to be true in Tomcat 4. So, I'll add that target to quickStart, which I
know will make a few people happy. :-)
- Yesterday, I had a problem with hackyDevSite not undeploying completely
(i.e. not completely deleting the <tomcat>/webapps/hackydevsite folder).
The problem was that struts.jar was not being deleted. In reading through
the above links that Hongbing supplied, I noticed that one workaround
posted was to expand the struts.jar into WEB-INF/classes and then delete
the jar file. I just tried that, and now hackyDevSite can undeploy just fine.
- I believe that if we supply a context configuration XML file, and
provide a "docBase" attribute, then we can deploy/undeploy without copying
under Tomcat 5.5. The following link takes you to the "Deploy a new
application from a local path" section, then scroll down to "Deploy using
a configuration XML file":
<http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/manager-howto.html#Deploy%20A%20New%20Application%20from%20a%20Local%20Path>
The following link documents the context configuration file, and the
docBase attribute:
<http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html>
Cheers,
Philip
