Hi Karen, I´m not sure if it's still valuable to you. But make sure to double click on your tomcat server in eclipse, and check the value od server location field. Should be something like [eclipse workspace location]\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmpX where X is any number starting from 0. Which is basically the path to tomcat work directory people were talking about. From here navigate to wtpwebapps folder. You will see folders which correspond to your web apps[projects in eclipse]. You basically will find the copy content of your WebContent folder from Eclipse project. Eclipse usually copies files from your |Webcontent folder to here right after you make changes and save your project changes. Sometimes it doesn't do this and you end up with a situation like yours. Then you have to manualy copy the specific file you have problems with. I've had this happen to me a few times and the first time it happend it was so frustrating. Hope this helps you

C:> DEL /S %CATALINA_BASE%\work\Catalina\localhost\{webappname} Or just navigate Windows Explorer to the "work" directory and press the "DELETE" key on your keyboard. Hi Chris, Just to clarify, so instead of doing the clean, I will have to to to this place - C:\Program Files\Apache\apache-tomcat-9.0.24\webapps\webappname and delete weappname ? I happened to read this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/763693/where-is-the-work-directory-located-for-a-tomcat-instance-running-in-eclipse I checked the location when I right-clicked the Tomcat instance, it says meta data, so should I delete the metadata one ? My Tomcat configuration is take control of Tomcat installation. Kindly advise. And thanks for your help. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - https://www.enigmail.net/ iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEMmKgYcQvxMe7tcJcHPApP6U8pFgFAl1vzyQACgkQHPApP6U8 pFilXw//d6+V8jCdk7rsimcTHB7khA5G0ERSXISHZCbGRA+PHxa4wE2U6Z1HFZtv 7hoxx46PSNkcWr+wgIjWCcj87MRdZsOJOAOqByRH1fSPLmZzdJyUxafPPNjA0wxU zT+T4CicFbBehjCi9rMbNI8tt/UOjQDcNJPuEIEXoLj2L4ybDSMcrTGjjDfhUuf8 +Z/1XefU7lBMiBDBGVGTmePm58P8cjLj8rq7nuXEbs3fcmA6udoHpWmoP7A4u+tx bmF1L6UEL0V3DIAUPJrV+WONGUw6te4sRF4PmKCPLyWBqfClU6lRt0U3CFN/T2u8 RqjX/rsCio4oImLSbgzRQnYLdWwb5tvuZzhlRGTnJcrSHj8D8ECWq8GdL0ppOnZo WoNf03NlaHniFUo6zW/LeMQUDjETH6/2qyvXC8fpjDDOn74yy6Zwk1ZMCwSmGS3e D7Sdek0ZlzonaCRcOu0f+iHNU/2ZuGdwKrgIltPuRwG50Tkhjad780/Xt55v/vOL kyqppaONZypXqNTkmDnIibzd1TyknRk7Y9UnCQIkgnBzhNuuG4MxzFh+2/BK8Qiy fOVZUCEvm5DbFIMRE4QSc7b8edrrC3YDRuQecZnii5Lk7c9By3xLiGu1SfH673Jz /is7giTMejiUzs2sb6JUYJN6RPyHPDFgI15ZRhgekt+OpN5jDXQ= =EtCR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
