Rhino,I don't know why the WAR file is not unpacking automatically but I'd like to suggest a simpler alternative than creating a directory and unjarring it manually: use the Tomcat Manager application, specifically the "Upload a WAR file to install" section.

Subject: War does not unpack on deployment
My application "Test.war"is not unpacking when I ftp it to the jakarta-tomcat/webapps directory on my host. Even after stop and re-start. If I mkdir Test and move test.war into it and jar -vxf Test.war then it does expand and run properly.
This is my server.xml entries ********************************** <!-- Define the default virtual host --> <Host name="localhost" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">
<!-- Test Context --> <Context path="/Test" docBase="Test" debug="100" privileged="true"/> ********************************************************
This is my web.xml
******************************************************** <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app> <display-name>Test</display-name>

<servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>Test</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/Test</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>
</web-app> *********************************************** Why doesn't unpack automatically? Thanks, Phil Campaigne

I'm using an ant buld file to create the war and deploy it so I would prefer to stick with that approach if I can make it work.
If I can't I try your suggestion.
thanks,
Phil
