Hi all
I'm using tomcat-6.0.18 with java-1.6.0-18 on ubuntu-9.10.
I have a question about the feature to automatically deploy war files
when they are dropped in the webapps directory. Sometimes, this doesn't
work as I would expect it to work, and I want to find out if this is
expected or if something can be done about it.
Allow me to describe a scenario:
- tomcat is not running
- copy a war file (say test.war) to the webapps directory
- start tomcat
now everything is ok, the test.war file gets "exploded" into a test
directory, and the application is deployed.
- stop tomcat
- corrupt some files in the exploded directory (e.g. remove all
libraries from WEB-INF/lib)
- touch test.war, such that it is certainly newer than then exploded
directory
- start tomcat
now the deployment fails, while I would expect tomcat to explode the
test.war file again, because it is newer than the exploded directory.
Am I making wrong assumptions? The documantation [1] explicetely says
"... and it is newer than the exploded web application, the exploded
directory will be removed and the webapp will be redeployed from the .WAR".
Thanks in advance,
Jan Van Besien
