I just did a vanilla install of 4.1.29 on a linux box. Connecting to localhost:8080 seems to work fine and I can run the example servlets, etc. In netbeans I made a trivial servlet that just spits back some helloworld html. It works within netbeans' built-in tomcat. I export this as a .war file, and copy it into tomcat's webapps folder (the real tomcat, not the netbeans one). Nothing happens, ie., I cannot access that servlet via tomcat, and examining the webapps/ directory reveals that the war file was not unpacked. I stopped and restarted tomcat - still no love.
If I manually inflate the war file inside of webapps/ROOT, then I have a working servlet.
I've looked at conf/server.xml and verified that the unpackWARS and autodeploy settings are both lit.
Not sure what the next step is, so I thought I'd ask here. The goal is to be able to simply copy a .war into the right place and have a running tomcat deploy the servlet corerctly.
cheers, -joe
