Hi, This is because you did probably forget the listener. So depending on the order the webapps are loaded, TomEE will not be notified.
The listener make it possible to start TomEE during Tomcat lifecycle and start process, so that all webapps being deployed are after TomEE. Follow the instructions here http://tomee.apache.org/installation-drop-in-war.html And don't forget to run the installer so that the listener will get installed. That said, if possible i would recommend using TomEE full package instead of the drop in war approach. Even between small tomcat version, some incompatibilities may appear and break some parts. And that approach has some drawbacks in terms of Java EE Web Profile compliancy. Last but not least, it harder to use well known Tomcat tools (Eclipse WTP, etc) with that approach cause you always need to add the webapp, the listener and the jars in your classpath.
