Manager app does not save installed web-apps to server.xml

           Summary: Manager app does not save installed web-apps to
                    server.xml
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.24
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Webapps:Manager
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: moonjihad@hotmail.com


Using the manager app to deploy an application which is not inside
TOMCAT_HOME\webapps makes that particular web-app disappear at the next tomcat
restart, as it is not saved to the server.xml.

To reproduce this bug :
1. Create a web-app somewhere outside of tomcat's dir
2. Install it using the manager using :
   WAR URL : file:c:/code/myWebApp/
   dir     : /mywebapp
3. Restart tomcat, webapp is not available anymore.

As a workaround, one should log into the admin app after installing a web-app
and click the commit button to save the configuration to the server.xml config file.
