Mark 6.0.18 **does** unpack a foo#bar.war to a foo#bar directory
as long as you have enough disk space ( woops ;) interestingly no error message to tell you if the unpack failed tho'.... I'm havng a little bit of trouble picking up local resources in my app deployed as foo#bar, using the ClassLoader, - but I'm sure I can fix this as the ClassLoader is picking up bundled libraries OK thanks again Trevor Paterson PhD new email [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark Thomas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 25 August 2008 17:37 > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: Re: Tomcat6 relative contexts > > trevor paterson (RI) wrote: > > excellent thanks Mark - I changed to build 18 and > foo#bar.war deploys > > to context /foo/bar > > > > it doesn't seem to unpack? there may be a good reason for this?? > > It should.
