Check out the "unpackWARs" attribute on the <Host ...> element. Set it to true. However, this is the default setting. I'm assuming you are using a customized server.xml, right?

Greetings!
New to Jakarta and I'm stuck. Again, most likely an easy solution but I can't
find it.
I'm following the instructions in a book on deploying a war file yet it won't
automatically expand when I restart Tomcat. Here's the steps I took and some
config stuff:
I cd to the working directory of the application, in this case
/usr/local/tomcat/webapps/apress
jar cvf apress.war .
I then move apress.war to /usr/local/tomcat/webapps and delete the apress
directory.
In my server.xml file I have
<!-- Define the default virtual host -->
<Host name="localhost" debug="0" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">
<Context path="/apress" docBase="apress" debug="9" reloadable="true" />
Yet when I restart Tomcat the apress.war file remains and there is no
directory called apress.
I've read that Tomcat can use the war file rather than a directory but there
are some problems. In my case the first page (jsp) appears ok, but it chokes
when calling the servlet.
What am I missing?
Thanks!
Eric
