I have some recollection of trying to avoid a situation where the WAR file ended up having a newer time-stamp than the expanded directory that resulted in constant redeployment. Assuming that: a) the above scenario was an error condition (e.g. WAR with future date-stamp) b) the expanded directory always gets the current time-stamp then Tomcat 7 could certainly be changed to have the behaviour you expect. For b), need to check: 1. How the expansion currently occurs? 2. Is there any opportunity for an older time-stamp being used?

I'm trying to figure out the logic behind redeploying a war. From
examining HostConfig.java, it looks like:
1. remembered date of the war file is compared to the current date of
the war file and the application is redeployed if the current date is
newer.
2. The remembered date of the expanded war is compared to the current
date of that directory and the application is reloaded if the current
directory date is newer.
So if I deploy while the server is down, it never will be noticed by
tomcat? This is not what I would have expected.
What I would expect to happen is tomcat to compare the war file date
to the expanded directory date and redeploy if the war file is newer.

Are you copying the new war file into $CATALINA_HOME/webapps, using the manager application, or deploying via an IDE? I'm on Linux at the moment, so I can't explore this. However, here are some things you might try. 1. Run everything under DOS. I'll give it a try, thought I can't imaging how cygwin would have locks unless you cd'd into your expanded war or opened files there. If you're a UNIX person, then this is not going to be as comfortable as running Cygwin, but it will remove some unintended consequences. Or as Konstantin suggested, run things on Linux. 2. Use the manager application for deployment. I removed both ROOT and manager webapps. Only my webapp remains. If you are looking at a command line mechanism for deploying applications to production, you might take a look at the Ant tasks. Documentation for the Ant tasks can be found here: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/manager-howto.html#Executing_Manager_Commands_With_Ant I would like it if it worked without the manager webapp, but I'm think it doesn't. 3. Use the IDE in a development environment Both NetBeans and Eclipse allow you to deploy to a running Tomcat (and start / stop Tomcat) from within the IDE. In a development environment I find that much more convenient than opening a shell and executing commands. I might try Eclipse, but we have 20 webapps running on 11 tomcat servers, and one login server must always be running, so it becomes complicated. Some quick notes on your web application (which I don't think will affect its loading and unloading): 1. Debug is no longer a valid attribute for the Context element. removed. 2. There appear to be some issues with with your Resource element describing your JDBC connection. Yes, maxIdle, maxActive. It looked harmless so I never go around to fixing it, but I'll do that. 3. Some of the connection pool threads issues could be due to a JDBC driver. If you're using MySQL, make sure you have the latest JDBC driver. Versions before 5.1.11 did cause problems. oracle-9.0.2.0.0.jar over oracle. There is a home grown connection pool in front of the tomcat pool.

I had the same problem on standard tomcat 6.0.20. shutdown; rm -rf webapps/appname work/* temp/*; startup. Do you run rm -rf on Windows? Yes. I'm using cygwin. Note, that there is also the following file: conf/Catalina/localhost/appname.xml What is its modification time? Is clock set up correctly on the machine? The clock is working.There isn't anything in conf/Catalina/localhost. The directory is empty. antiJARLocking=true antiResourceLocking=true It would be better to test on some Linux machine. You won't be using the above options on Solaris. Well, this is important in production, but also in development. Since the problem is sporadic and fails silently. There's been a few occasions where I think my code fix isn't working, only to find out the code was never deployed. That can be very frustrating. For now I'll reset the context.xml to Context since none of those options are helping me. Also different end-of-line handling, '/' vs '\', file names, filename case sensitivity may catch you. WatchedResourcebuild.txt/WatchedResource WatchedResource is used to reload a webapp (e.g. when editing web.xml), not to redeploy it. OK. I don't need WatchedResource then. I've removed it. By the way, please create or edit your webapp's META-INF/context.xml, not the default one. I've reset context.xml back to default except jdbc resources and access logging. Are there any messages in the logs? No. The logs are silent when I deploy. There were some errors on the last undeploy before it stopped working. See below. Are you using this webapps folder (e.g., Tomcat can be run with a different CATALINA_BASE). I'm sure because I've verified it when redeploy is working. Best regards, Konstantin Kolinko - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org Here's the logs from deploying and then undeploying the war. After this it does not redeploy and there are no message when I try to redeploy. 18-Aug-2010 14:16:22.796 INFO org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig.deployWAR Deploying web application archive blview.war 18-Aug-2010 14:16:24.546 WARNING org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.ConnectionPool.init maxIdle is larger than maxActive, setting maxIdle to: 2 18-Aug-2010 14:16:24.562 WARNING org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.ConnectionPool.init maxIdle is larger than maxActive, setting maxIdle to: 2 18-Aug-2010 14:16:24.562 WARNING org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.ConnectionPool.init maxIdle is larger than maxActive, setting maxIdle to: 2 18-Aug-2010 14:16:24.562 WARNING
