Hello,
I've been out of town for a while so i haven't been able to respond earlier.
Yes, i have tried all commands available in the manager, nothing helps this problem. When the manager tries to delete the directory, the jar-file being locked is left behind and the directory cannot be deleted. All other files are deleted.
Is anyone at all out there successfully re-deploying webapps on the fly in tomcat 5.5 under windows?

Have you tried to use the command undeploy of the manager ?
Like this http://yourhost:yourportnumber/manager/undeploy?path=(context_path) Take care : this command after stopping the application will delete the
directory where your application was deployed and remove the entry of the
<Context> from your server.xml of CATALINA_HOME/conf

Hi,
I guess this question has come up a thousand times on this list, but i still have no workaround for it so i need to get a tip or two from you guys.
We're using Tomcat 5.5.9 on Windows 2003 Server, and we cannot hot-deploy webapps. The cause is one of our jar-files in WEB-INF being locked, so the webapp cannot be undeployed. (The directory webapps/<webapp>/ cannot be deleted).
Now, i've scanned the net a lot about this problem and have tried lots and lots of stuff.
- Stopping the webapp before trying to remove the webapps/<webapp>/-directory does NOT work.
- Using reloadable="true", antiJARLocking="true" antiResourceLocking="true" in the context.xml for each webapp does NOT work.
We have about 75 (almost identical) webapps or so running on our server. With the software "Process Explorer" from sysinternals (http://www.sysinternals.com/files/procexpnt.zip), i can see all open files in the system. On any given time, "tomcat5.exe" has one jar-file in each of about 3-5 webapps open with a file handle. These are never closed, but open for as long as tomcat lives (or at least, for a very long time. Hours or days.)
Now, i know what is said about this problem. "It's an OS problem, not a tomcat issue". I can't understand that though, since:
- Hot deploy worked perfectly under windows with tomcat 4.1.X. What has changed since then?
- Tomcat evidently has several file handles open to these jar-files which it doesn't close. Isn't the problem this, that tomcat doesn't close the file handles to its opened jar-files?
I can close these file handles manually from within process explorer, but then tomcat goes berserk and nothing works.
Is there anything i'm missing here?
Isn't there any way whatsoever to be able to use hot deploy under windows today?
Why doesn't antiJARLocking and antiResourceLocking work at all, i thought these should adress this particular problem?
I'm attaching a screenshot of the open files from within process explorer.
Hope you can help me!
Regards
Joakim
