I have found the following parameters are set in the server.xml file: unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" I have *deploy* a cat.war file to the following directory: linux:~/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.26/webapps # ls -l total 78 drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 320 Aug 26 10:02 . drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 376 Jul 31 04:27 .. drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 312 Jul 31 04:25 ROOT drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 432 Jul 31 04:26 admin drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 120 Jan 29 2008 balancer drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 96 Aug 26 10:02 cat -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 76716 Aug 26 10:02 cat.war drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 592 Jul 22 07:44 jsp-examples drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 272 Jul 31 04:13 manager drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 320 Jul 22 07:44 servlets-examples drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 1504 Jul 22 07:44 tomcat-docs drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 168 Jul 22 07:44 webdav linux:~/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.26/webapps # The directory *cat* is created by tomcat and the cat.war file is in the directory as well. But inside cat/ directory contains only 2 folders: linux:~/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.26/webapps # cd cat linux:~/tomcat/apache-tomcat-5.5.26/webapps/cat # ls -l total 0 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 96 Aug 26 10:02 . drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 320 Aug 26 10:02 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 Aug 26 10:02 META-INF drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 120 Aug 26 10:02 WEB-INF How to instruct tomcat to unpack this cat.war file as well?
