Hi, that seems to be the cause. I check, why there is this empty folder which should not be created. But it works with tomcat-6.0.35. Why does this error not occur in the previous Version. Is it because of the bugfix ?

You cannot create a directory when a file with the same name already exists. You can use "jar -t" to list the files contained in your archive.
