Are you starting and stopping Tomcat under Cygwin? I've seen some interesting file locking problems (as well as the "terminate batch job?" question) when running Windows applications under Cygwin.
How are you deploying your web application? Are you copying the new war file into $CATALINA_HOME/webapps, using the manager application, or deploying via an IDE? I'm on Linux at the moment, so I can't explore this. However, here are some things you might try. 1. Run everything under DOS. If you're a UNIX person, then this is not going to be as comfortable as running Cygwin, but it will remove some unintended consequences. Or as Konstantin suggested, run things on Linux. 2. Use the manager application for deployment. If you are looking at a command line mechanism for deploying applications to production, you might take a look at the Ant tasks. Documentation for the Ant tasks can be found here: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/manager-howto.html#Executing_Manager_Commands_With_Ant (sorry for the wrapped line) 3. Use the IDE in a development environment Both NetBeans and Eclipse allow you to deploy to a running Tomcat (and start / stop Tomcat) from within the IDE. In a development environment I find that much more convenient than opening a shell and executing commands. Some quick notes on your web application (which I don't think will affect its loading and unloading): 1. Debug is no longer a valid attribute for the Context element. 2. There appear to be some issues with with your Resource element describing your JDBC connection. 3. Some of the connection pool threads issues could be due to a JDBC driver. If you're using MySQL, make sure you have the latest JDBC driver. Versions before 5.1.11 did cause problems. . . . . just my two cents. /mde/ ----- Original Message ---- From: Sean McEligot <seanmc...@gmail.com> To: Tomcat Users List <users@tomcat.apache.org> Sent: Wed, August 18, 2010 12:04:46 PM Subject: Re: war not redeploying On Wed, Aug 18, 2010 at 11:56 AM, Konstantin Kolinko <knst.koli...@gmail.com> wrote: >> 6.0.25 > > An odd version... I'm in the middle of purchasing springsource-tc. The version is actually springsource tomcat-6.0.25.A-RELEASE, but I don't think they change anything except they have multiple catalina.base servers for one catalina.home.

Well, this is important in production, but also in development. Since the problem is sporadic and fails silently. There's been a few occasions where I think my code fix isn't working, only to find out the code was never deployed. That can be very frustrating. For now I'll reset the context.xml to <Context> since none of those options are helping me. > > Also different end-of-line handling, '/' vs '\', file names, filename > case sensitivity may catch you. > >> <WatchedResource>build.txt</WatchedResource> > > WatchedResource is used to reload a webapp (e.g. when editing > web.xml), not to redeploy it. OK. I don't need WatchedResource then. I've removed it. > By the way, please create or edit your > webapp's META-INF/context.xml, not the default one.
