I want to make sure that I have configured it correctly and it is running the way it should - for the developers with regard to actually deploying automagically.
They want to be able to add a war file into webapps - while the server is running - and it is automatically deployed with no intervention - either from a server restart or via the manager. I found this on the doc page for AutomaticApplicationDeployment( http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/host.html#Automatic%2 0Application%20Deployment ): "In addition to the automatic deployment that occurs at startup time, you can also request that new XML configuration files, WAR files, or subdirectories (containing web applications) that are dropped in to the appBase directory while Tomcat is running will be automatically deployed, according to the rules described above." I was told this does happen in NT, but it doesn't seem to be working on my unix box - host set-up as follows: <Host name="coffee" address"ip.is.here" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"> Thanks again, Rachel -----Original Message----- From: Jamesey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2003 12:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Question about AutoDeployment Feature of 4.1.18 Rachel I been using 4.1.18 alot lately and i've been frustrated by the fact that i have to delete the unpacked war file directory and the war file itself every time i redeploy.. i beleive there is a way to make tomcat not unpack the war file .. something lik host unpackWar="false" but i havent tried it myself.
