Dear All,

I use tomcat as a Liferay portal engine. It is usually stopped in two steps.
There is Shutdown button available in Liferay Control panel, which stops the
webapp. Once this is finished, it is safe to stop tomcat via the standard
shutdown script.

If tomcat is stopped differently:
* tomcat is shutdown without shutting down the Liferay
* java crashes (out of memory)
* tomcat is killed
* OS is rebooted (driven by server hosting)

it sometimes (not always) deletes some web content, usually JSP pages, to my
experience especially of the ROOT app (in case of Liferay the default Tomcat
ROOT app is replaced with the core Liferay app).

After the last incident even the core config file ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml was
missing. And without it tomcat was not able to launch the portal properly.

When you know what has happened it is 'easy' to fix.

But I am quite curious why anything is even deleted in such 'crash'
scenarios. 

I met this in various tomcat versions, let say 7.0.xx- 8.0.xx running on
Oracle JDK 7-8 on both Windows 7-10 and CentOS 6-7.

Any idea why this happen?

Thanks,

Jan
