Is this a bug?
So, I deploy the struts-blank webapp to my webapps directory under tomcat. Everything works fine. Then I try to undeploy it under the manager, and it responds the a message, context undeployed. But when I do a list under the tomcat manager it is still there. If I look under the webapps directory, my struts-blank directory is still there. I look under the application directory under webapps, and I find that the commons-digester.jar, commons-validator.jar, and struts.jar are still there. If I try to delete them, I cannot. My operating complains that these files are still in use by another application. I shut down tomcat, and presto, the application is really undeployed. I actually found this problem working on my own application, and found that the build script failed to (re) deploy even though I undeployed an application. Thus I have two questions: 1) If an application is not fully undeployed, shouldn't the tomcat manager complain about it with a message or warning, rather than just ok? 2) Is there a known issue/bug with tomcat not releasing .jar resources (specifically the ones mentioned above) of applications being undeployed? I have searched under bugzilla, and there seems to be a undeploy bug identified and fixed, but I am not sure if it applies to what I have identified here or not. Versions: Struts 1.2.4 Tomcat: 5.5 J2SE: 5.0 Any Help?!?!? Warm Regards, Harry
