Tomcat Manager won't undeploy

[Mark <ma...@bellsouth.net>]

I'm using Tomcat 4.1.12 and can't get the manager 'undeploy' command to 
work.  Other mgr commands such as stop, start, remove, list, etc. work, but 
not undeploy.  The application is defined in server.xml with context 
path="/myapp" docBase="myapp" and lives under webapps/myapp.  Using this 
manager command:
     http://localhost:8080/manager/undeploy?path=/myapp

I get the following simple response:
    FAIL - Cannot remove document base for path /myapp

and the Tomcat log shows:
     2002-12-02 10:09:37 Manager: undeploy: Undeploying web application at 
'/myapp'

Anyone know what the problem is? I stopped the app first but that doesn't 
help.  I searched the archives to no avail. I'm looking at integrating TC 
manager functions into our Ant build for a complete clean build/redeploy, 
but have hit a wall here.

Thanks in advance.

You can't use "undeploy" on an app that was listed in server.xml already.
It can only be used on an app where you did a "deploy".  Set up your Ant
build scripts to do the deploy command as well.

(Note -- if you're running Tomcat on your development machine, using
install/remove will run faster than deploy/undeploy.)
