Don't know if this is the reason, but this is from the ant manuals war task entry:
We regulary receive bug reports that this task is creating the WEB-INF directory, and thus it is our fault your webapp doesn't work. The cause of these complaints lies in WinZip, which turns an all upper-case directory into an all lower case one in a fit of helpfulness. Please check that jar xvf yourwebapp.war shows the same behaviour before filing another report. --- Hernani_Mourao <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi there, > > I have the same problem . . . . > But by no means I manage to get the context.xml file > processed: some > parameters donnot make any change when I check in > Admin. > > I am using W2K and Ant makes meta-inf in lower case. > Would that be the > problem?
