The deployOnStartup attribute is not working for me. Here's the snippet of my server.xml file: <Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" deployOnStartup="true" autoDeploy="false" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
If I copy a new war file and restart tomcat, I do not see any changes made in the directory that the application expands to. In my webapps directory, the war file is actually a symbolic link to the actual war file that resides elsewhere. Just in case the symbolic link was causing the problem I removed it, and copied the newer war file directly to the webapps directory. Then I restarted tomcat. I still did not see any changes made to my application directory. Am I missing something else?

So I've set that attribute to "false". But I would like the war file to be deployed when tomcat is restarted - that is the behavior I'm trying to get, and hoping to configure via configuration parameters. Maybe the only way to accomplish this is by deleting the directory at startup?

I have set the autoDeploy attribute in server.xml to false - this prevents my application from deploying dynamically, which is the behavior that I want. But then when I restart Tomcat I would like my new war file to be deployed at that time, but that is not happening (unless I delete the associated directory first). Are there any configuration parameters that will ensure the war file gets deployed at startup, but NOT dynamically when the application is running?
