Sure i will work in fixing the memory leak and i have another QQ. Now that I set autoDeploy=false in order to have more control on my tomcat. I stopped Tomcat, deploy war file and started tomcat and tomcat is extracting the war just fine without having deployOnStartup attribute stated anywhere. As i grep for "deployOnStartup" value and couldn't find anywhere in my configuration, and deployments on start-up is working just fine.
- Do i need to specifically set deployOnStartup=true, For happening deployments on Tomcat startup ? Or is deployOnStartup=true (by default in tomcat) ? - Also if autoDeploy is set to false, are there any other unknown impacts that might happen which needs to be considered ?
