Hi Doug, Thank for the information. Did you use Tomcat 4.1.27 version? I did not use the manager to restart the web component. What I did is following: 1) stop tomcat, remove the myApp.war, and the myApp directory. 2) copy the new myApp.war into the webapps directory. 3) start tomcat.
When I removed the Context that was defined for the myApp.war then Tomcat unpack the myApp.war and everything is OK. I may missing something in the server.xml file. Can you provide a server.xml file that contains a simple Context definition that I may use to setup my myApp.war. Thank you in advance, Kam On Fri, 9 Apr 2004 18:12:20 -0400, "Parsons Technical Services" wrote: > > Kam, > > The existence of a context in the server.xml will not prevent Tomcat from > unpacking a war.
