I have similar experience, Tomcat 6.0.30 is deleting my ROOT.xml inside conf directory. As Mark said here, it's because of the autoDeploy, BUT WHY it is like that ? I have 2 constraints:
1. ROOT.xml is important, it contains the Context for the webapp (and it cannot be inside war !!) 2. I need autoDeploy feature So what is the solution for that ? Actually I DONT get the point of removing those xml files at all !! Here is my original post: http://www.mail-archive.com/users@tomcat.apache.org/msg87411.html Thank you. -JoeK- ______________________________________________________________ > Od: "Robinson, Eric" <eric.robin...@psmnv.com> > Komu: "Tomcat Users List" <users@tomcat.apache.org> > Datum: 10.03.2011 01:12 > Předmět: RE: why does tomcat6 delete xml files from > ../tomcat6/conf/Catalina/localhost directory? > > > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Mark Thomas [mailto:ma...@apache.org] >> Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2011 3:42 PM >> To: Tomcat Users List >> Subject: Re: why does tomcat6 delete xml files from >> ../tomcat6/conf/Catalina/localhost directory? >> >> On 09/03/2011 23:15, Robinson, Eric wrote: >> > We have several instances of tomcat running on a server and >> everything >> > seems to run fine.
