Always a good idea to read the manual http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/deployer-howto.html
also a good idea to read the comments carefully Autodeploy "If the Host autoDeploy attribute is "true", the Host will attempt to deploy and update web applications dynamically, as needed, for example if a new WAR is dropped into the appBase. For this to work, the Host needs to have background processing enabled which is the default configuration." so leave autodeploy=false "deployonStartup will be deployed on Tomcat startup only if the Host's deployOnStartup attribute is "true"." so leave deployOnStartup = true M- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Beth Hechanova" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List" <users@tomcat.apache.org> Sent: Monday, November 19, 2007 1:50 PM Subject: RE: Application redeployment on Tomcat startup only If I set the autoDeploy attribute to "true", then the application gets dynamically deployed - I do NOT want that behavior. So I've set that attribute to "false". But I would like the war file to be deployed when tomcat is restarted - that is the behavior I'm trying to get, and hoping to configure via configuration parameters. Maybe the only way to accomplish this is by deleting the directory at startup?

I have set the autoDeploy attribute in server.xml to false - this prevents my application from deploying dynamically, which is the behavior that I want. But then when I restart Tomcat I would like my new war file to be deployed at that time, but that is not happening (unless I delete the associated directory first). Are there any configuration parameters that will ensure the war file gets deployed at startup, but NOT dynamically when the application is running?
