I think so, i just checked and Tomcat itself remove the application if the deployment fails. In your case i think we make the deployment fail because some classes are missing so Tomcat (TomEE ;)) remove the app.
In standard Tomcat the error should occur later so the deployement doesn't fail at this moment. - Romain 2012/3/6 Neale Rudd <ne...@metawerx.net> > Hi Guys, > > I notice on TomEE that when an application doesn't start, it doesn't > appear in Tomcat Manager like it would in standard Tomcat (as a "stopped" > application). > > We have this issue with a number of apps we're trying to port over at the > moment. > > In this case below, the problem is missing Hibernate classes.
