Bug ID: 56867 Summary: WAR with exploded dir not updated from WAR on Tomcat startup Product: Tomcat 8 Version: 8.0.9 Hardware: PC Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: Catalina Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org Reporter: zigarn+apa...@gmail.com Created attachment 31928 --> https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=31928&action=edit use-case to test the bug 1. Configure a Tomcat instance with the server.xml from archive provided in attachment 2. Start Tomcat 3. Copy webapps/v1/webapp.war into $CATALINA_BASE/webapps/ Result: webapp is deployed as expected and available at http://localhost:8080/webapp/ with text "Webapp v1". The WAR was exploded into $CATALINA_BASE/webapps/webapp/ folder 4. Stop Tomcat 5. Copy webapps/v2/webapp.war into CATALINA_BASE/webapps/ 6. Start Tomcat Result: old version is still served at http://localhost:8080/webapp/ with text "Webapp v1" Expected: the exploded dir $CATALINA_BASE/webapps/webapp/ is removed and the new version of WAR is deployed and available at http://localhost:8080/webapp/ with text "Webapp v2". Or am I misunderstanding the documentation http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/deployer-howto.html#Deployment_on_Tomcat_startup ? Reproduced with tomcat-7.0.55. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
