Hey Terry, Just wanted to jump in and those .war files are getting discontinued which is why they no longer show up in the TomEE 8 and 9 sections of the download page. I'd definitely advise using one of the TomEE tar.gz or zip files with Tomcat already bundled. The trick with those wars is that the integration code we had to do to get that setup to work from a war file was always kind of iffy. Under the covers there's code in the war file that takes a bunch of libraries and pushes them into the Tomcat server classloader as if they we're libraries in Tomcat's lib/ directory. But because they weren't and are added by a war file, any wars that started prior to that webapp will have gotten a plain Tomcat deploy and so the webapp would restart them. It was likely too clever for its own good. Not a timely response, but hope this helps! -David
