Hi, Yes, the default ROOT.war does appear to work in the way I have been trying to deploy my own ROOT.war, you're right there.
Nevertheless I will hold that there are a lot of potential differences between the empty default ROOT and an 18MB struts/spring/hibernate etc... real-world web application so I am not convinced just yet that it's my web application packaging (especially with the valid tests I have shown by manual unpack). I will see if I can pursue the reason and come back to you. Kindest regards, Allistair. PS: thanks for the usual insult, i'd expect no less. > -----Original Message----- > From: Remy Maucherat [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 22 August 2005 11:32 > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: Re: Deploying ROOT.war indicates missing application web.xml > > > On 8/22/05, Allistair Crossley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > Just to reconfirm, and also to take into account what you > did in your test > > > > 0.
