Hey thanks Matt,
right on, with your information I found out that what I need to do was to
include a META-INF/context.xml file in my application defining a context and
using the settings to prevent library locking, something like:
<Context
path="/OES2"
antiResourceLocking="true" antiJARLocking="true" >
<WatchedResource>/usr/local/tomcat/conf/context.xml</WatchedResource>
<WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>
</Context>
this solved my problem.
Thanks again,
Omar

Subject: Re: War File Deployment Problem in Windows
Omar,
Yeah, I had the same problem earlier this week when I upgraded. I got no
response from this list because I'm sure the question has been posted a
thousand times. But I will have mercy on you because I feel your pain.
It's a problem with file locking on Windows. In my case, some of the
JARs in my WEB-INF/lib directory were being locked so when the WAR was
undeployed by tomcat, it wasn't able to delete them and my redeploy
failed. In any case, check out this FAQ:
