Re: Tomcat doesn't explode war file when context is declared in server.xml

[Jacob Kjome]

I you define a context yourself, at least in Tomcat-4.x.x, you will have to 
"explode" the .war file yourself before the server starts if you want to 
point to the "tao" directory.  In Tomcat5, you can point to "tao.war" and 
it will explode it anyway and run out of the directory, which is exactly 
what you want.

Note that if this is all you have defined for your context, don't define a 
context at all.  Just drop the .war file into "webapps" and Tomcat (4.x.xx 
and 5.x.xx) will "explode" it and run from the directory.

Hi,

I've added my context in server.xml:

<Context path="/tao" docBase="tao" debug="5" privileged="false">
...
But tomcat does not find and explode the tao.war in the webapps
directory. So I need to set the docBase to "tao.war" which is
not the required setup.
Any hints?

Thanks,

Morten
