Yep, unfortunately, this is the behavior that Tomcat has. If you
explicitly define a for your app, Tomcat will not automatically
explode your .war file to a directory structure. You will have to do this
manually before start of the server. And, BTW, you should avoid
getRealPath() at all cos

Don't use ServletContext#get
I am using Tomcat 4.1.18 to run my Struts 1.1 app.
I am using a configuartion file appname.xml in the "webapps" folder to deploy the
application along with a appname.war file.
Now the "Server Configuration Reference" of Tomcat has thie literature for Automatic
application deployment.
