I've recently tried installing Tomcat in order to test out sshwebproxy (http://www.ericdaugherty.com/dev/sshwebproxy/). However, for some reason, Tomcat will not auto-deploy any WAR files that I place in the webapps/ directory, as it should according to the Tomcat documentation. What is interesting is that I have another computer running the same version of Tomcat that does auto-deploy WAR files.
Thinking that this might be a problem with Tomcat, I also tried installing another Servlet container in portage, resin. Once again, on one computer resin will not auto-deploy WAR files, while it does auto-deploy them on the other. There isn't anything thrown into the Tomcat log files. OTher troubleshooting steps I have tried include: 1) setting permissions on the WAR file to 777 (no effect) 2) setting the $CLASSPATH on each computer to the same value (no effect) 3) unmerging and re-emerging tomcat several times (no effect) I really don't know any other avenues to pursue.
