To really make sure it gets deployed you have to delete the webapp from the
~/tomcat/work/servername directory.
So, if you want, add something to your startup.sh script (or startup.bat)
like
rm -rf /tomcathome/work/servername/webappname
That will clear it completely and force Tomcat to redeploy it.
I have Ant doing that job with something like this:
<target name="redeploy" description="Removes the webapp from the
classloader">
<delete dir="/tomcathome/work/servername/webappname"/>
</target>
And I call that target from the <target name="compile"> target to make sure
my App is cleared from Tomcat. I think the new Tomcat 4.1 has an integrated
Ant
task to do this, and maybe a better way in the manager app. But until then
I
think you have to use one of these two options.
