Problem with installing Structs WAR files
Hi all!
I have copied the WAR files in the Struts < /webapps > directory to Tomcat
< webapps > directory (struts-blank.war, struts-documentation.war,
struts-example.war, struts-template.war,
struts-test.war, struts-upload.war) . I'm using Tomcat 4.0-b1 , and
jakarta-struts-20010218.tar.gz
I have started Tomcat and the WAR files all are unpacked. I could open
http://localhost:8080/struts-example,
http://localhost:8080/struts-documentation,... But after I stopped Tomcat,
all the JSP files in struts-example/ , struts-documentation/,... were
deleted. What's wrong? Please help me!
Regards,
Thai

Tomcat 3.1 has many problems, performance being only one of them. I do not consider
Tomcat 3.1 to be a viable platform for deploying Struts applications. Tomcat 3.2 fixes
(literally) hundreds of bugs that are present in 3.1, and has much better performance as
well. Tomcat 4.0 performance hasn't been measured formally, but in many cases appears to
be substantially faster than 3.2 (especially if your client knows how to do HTTP/1.1
persistent connections).
Future work in Tomcat 4.0 will also focus on improving the performance of JSP pages that
use custom tags heavily (as is typical of Struts based applications).

Thank you Craig (from all of us) for all your clear, helpful answers.
One more. Has unpacking of an application or not unpacking (using *war file) any
influence for Tomcat performance? People in j2ee.sun.com user list compliant with
Tomcat performance, specially 3.1

That's true. What happens in 3.1 (and 3.2) is people who deployed a WAR file would
update the WAR (without deleting the expanded directory) and then wonder why the
new WAR had no effect even after they restarted Tomcat. You need to delete the
expanded directory as well to make the new WAR take effect.
The reasoning for the Tomcat 4.0-b1 behavior is that, if you are deploying your
application as a WAR file then you will always want to do this -- the fact that
4.0-b1 expands the directory while running is an implementation detail. In
addition, in 4.0-b2 you will have the option to run directly from a WAR file
without expanding.

Maybe this is a new feuture of Tomcat 4.0-b1. I do not have it with 3.1

Tomcat will unwrap the .war files for loading when running, and delete them
when finished as a convenience. If you want to keep them you'll need
to unjar them yourself first, with something like
cd $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps
mkdir struts-documentation
cd struts-documentation
jar xvf ../struts-documentation.war
