Yep

The only way I found to guarantee a proper reinstall was to shutdown tomcat and remove all the offending stuff (jspwiki) and restart tomcat and re deploy.

Oh I do, but it would be nice to have a script to take my war file from my dev machine, place it in the production machine - undeploy, remove the tmp files, and then redeploy. Right now my only script access to tomcat is to shutdown and restart - very much a bull in a china shop approach. > > Multiple Wikis: Will take a look at the docs..Suspect Murray has a hand in > the write up ;-) > But I am studying one problem at a time.
