Just for the record, this is how it is....Jacob,
Tomcat4.x.x:
If one defines the context in server.xml or in a context configuration file, the .war file corresponding to the webapp that it refers to will not be unpacked. Why this is the behavior or Tomcat4.x.x is beyond me.
Tomcat5.x.x
One should not define the context in server.xml, but in a context configuration file. And in either case, the .war file will be unpacked no matter what. This is what it always should have been.
Moral of the story, move off of Tomcat4.x.x and on to Tomcat5.x.x to get server behavior that makes sense.

I don't know why the WAR file is not unpacking automatically but I'd like to
suggest a simpler alternative than creating a directory and unjarring it

My hosting service is Tomcat 4.18 so I'm kind of stuck with 4.x. Are you saying if I use tomcat 4.x I must not put a context for my applicaton in server.mxl? Then it will be unpacked automatially?
thanks,
Phil
