RE: unpacking of WAR
Craig, I was under the impression that the WAR would only be expanded if there was no existing Context of that name. Is this correct? - Andrew -Original Message- From: Craig R.

Is this correct? That's true. And any auto-expanded directory will *not* be modified if you update the WAR and restart Tomcat. That's because people would still modify the deployed files (in the expanded directory) instead of going back to their original sources, and get annoyed when their in-place updates got wiped out. Personally, I never use the webapps directory any more -- the custom Ant install and deploy tasks (Tomcat 4.1.x) are really cool. My normal development cycle for a webapp: * Start Tomcat and just leave it running (if not already started) * Run ant compile to build my webapp into a build/webapp subdirectory * Run ant install to dynamically install it on Tomcat, passing the directory name of my build/webapp directory. * If I need to modify something, I do it and run ant compile reload to reload the app. * To clean up, ant remove. There's a fully worked out build.xml file that supports all of this in the Application Developer's Guide document that ships with Tomcat 4.1. http://localhost:8080/tomcat-docs/appdev/ The 4.1.x codebase is nearing release quality; you should really start playing with the new features if you haven't yet. You'll never go back to the webapps directory again :-). - Andrew Craig -Original Message- From: Craig R.

unpacking of WAR
I worked on deploying my first webapp to another server today. I packaged it up as a war, transferred it to the other tomcat server, added the one line context element in the server.xml, and restarted. Nothing - the logs said that the webapp that was referenced by the context statement was not available or in a readable format. In fact, the war did not expand into the file system. So, I removed the context element, and restarted. With the context gone, the WAR expanded properly. Then I added the context back in, and it worked fine. Is this normal? Thanks Paul Phillips PS - the context element in the server.xml is just there to pass in a parameter containing the location of a data directory. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Tomcat 4.0.3. is not unpacking my WAR file
Tomcat 4.0.3 is NOT unpacking my WAR file and my application is not getting loaded. Is this a bug or is there a configuration issue that I am missing. If I run without unpacking the war (i.e., docBase=online.war), the application runs just fine, but then I can't have Apache httpd serve my static html and images. Here's the Host section of my server.xml Host name=localhost debug=0 appBase=webapps unpackWARs=true Valve className=org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve directory=logs prefix=access. suffix=.log pattern=common timestamp=true/ Logger className=org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger directory=logs prefix=localhost. suffix=.log timestamp=false/ Context path=/online docBase=online debug=0 reloadable=false crossContext=false useNaming=false Logger className=org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger prefix=online. suffix=.log timestamp=true/ /Context /Host -- To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Troubles with the list: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've also noticed that if the directory already exists for the web application in question, that it never extracts the war file.

Re: Tomcat 4.0.3. is not unpacking my WAR file
Let me clarify: Tomcat NEVER unpacks the war, not when it's restarted, and even if the directory is not there. On restart, Tomcat complains that it can't start the application, because the directory does not exists. - Original Message - From: Daniel Bruce Lynes [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2002 10:09 AM Subject: Re: Tomcat 4.0.3. is not unpacking my WAR file On March 21, 2002 08:02 am, you wrote: Tomcat 4.0.3 is NOT unpacking my WAR file and my application is not getting loaded.
