Do you mean "automatic deployment" or "automatic redeployment"? If you want to update a WAR file that is outside of the appBase, then update the WAR file and then 'touch' the XML file in $CATALINA_BASE/conf/[engine_name]/[host_name]/jamesbond.xml. > Why is this? How can one have the same behaviour as in Tomcat 6: > have the war* outisde appBase*, use a context xml like the one > above and have the application exploded. Do you really care about the WAR file being exploded? If this is really a complaint about your question #2 (handled by others separately within this thread), then you should be using the temp dirs instead of getRealPath and you won't have to worry about the lack of WAR-explosion anymore. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAlAhRK0ACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBElgCff5o8N1rNnTKAZ1HHRKxBqKTU t+oAmwWEcvU1uDLWX6zkYNT+QnhLSqxk =Z6qA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
