Yes, but the question is, what constitutes a webapp being deleted? And the answer, I think, depends on how you have Tomcat configured (e.g., in terms of auto-deployment of webapps). I'd say that if you're using a context configuration file, that's part of the webapp. And if you haven't deleted it, you haven't really deleted the webapp. > I removed the <Context> for that webapp in > conf/server.xml. Hmmm -- you had a <Context> element for this webapp in server.xml *and* a separate context configuration file? That's redundant, because they serve the same purpose. I'm not sure what would happen in that case -- were you per chance seeing your webapp starting up twice? > And the deleted project directory is located > outside of TOMCAT default webapps/ dir... . Which means there has to be some element inside Tomcat's configuration (either in server.xml or a separate context configuration file) that lets Tomcat know about it. And until you delete that element, you haven't deleted the webapp. That's my take on it, at least :-). > -----Original Message----- > From: Milt Epstein [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2004 9:40 AM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: Re: Tomcat Loads Deleted Context? > > > Here is the console output when deploying tomcat: > > Feb 4, 2004 8:14:19 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostDeployer install > > INFO: Processing Context configuration file URL > > file:C:\Web\ApacheGroup\Tomcat\conf\Catalina\localhost\deleted.xml > > Does this file still exist?
