I don't see a consistent pattern, but it definitely happens on first deployment. In my scenario, Tomcat is installed as part of a larger product installation, with the WAR file under the webapps directory, ready for deployment when Tomcat is first started. So the WAR is intended to only ever be deployed once, and it's failing the first time. I have seen it fail a second time, so it's not just a new-install issue either.
To try to reproduce this problem, I wrote a script to repeatedly: - stop Tomcat - delete expanded WAR directory - start Tomcat - verify WAR expansion The deployment never failed under these test conditions. -----Original Message----- From: David Kerber [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2007 11:39 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: WAR deployment incomplete (sometimes) I've occasionally seen this on 5.5.15 on Windows, but never thought much of it, just assuming it was a random glitch. It seems to be more common for me when I restart it quickly after stopping, and less often if I let it sit for 30 seconds or so before restarting.
