I need to deploy a web app as an unpacked directory structure (the app needs to be able write a file to its WEB-INF). I also need to automate the deployment and reloading using Ant. So far, I've tried a few things:
1. setting unpackWARs in server.xml to true and copying the war file to the webapps dir 2. copying the expanded directory structure directly in webapps In both cases, the app deployment is successful initially. However, when I make changes (update the war file for case 1 or update the app's classes in case 2) Tomcat does not update the application (i.e., the class files are not reloaded.) The Ant reload task gives errors in both cases. I tried to undeploy and deploy the app using the Ant undeploy task but the undeploy also gave errors in both cases (IncompatibleClassChangeError). However, I can remove the app with the gui app manager. autoDeploy and liveDeploy are both set to true for the Host. Is there something else I need to do to notify Tomcat to reload the class files after modifications? Or is there another way to deploy the expanded app so it will be reloaded automatically?
