Tang,
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunantly, that isn't the behavior I am seeing,
and I think the other poster had the same issue. If I don't have a
<context> for my war file in the server.xml, then it unpacks fine. But, if
I do have a context, then it won't unpack, and I have to do it manually.
This is the server conf that I am trying to use that doesn't work:
<Context className="org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext"
cachingAllowed="true"
charsetMapperClass="org.apache.catalina.util.CharsetMapper" cookies="true"
crossContext="false" debug="0" docBase="fortius.war"
mapperClass="org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextMapper" path="/fortius"
privileged="false" reloadable="true" swallowOutput="false" useNaming="true"
wrapperClass="org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper">
<Environment description="" name="local_dir" override="true"
type="java.lang.String"
value="d:/java/tomcat/webapps/fortius/data/scintfiles"/>
</Context>
I do have the docBase pointing to my war file.

Hi, all you need to do is place WAR file into webapps directory, Tomcat
will
unpack for you. If you don't pack web application into WAR file. You
should
copy web application directory into webapps directory and config
<context>
parameter. You can check tomcat-docs for more configuration details.
