Automatically Redeploy WAR's

[ms...@aol.com]

Hello,

I've been experimenting with WAR's on my dev server and have found that after a WAR is deployed for the first time, it is not redeployed on subsequent server bounces.  I've looked through the functionality in /manager and can find nothing that allows you to have a web app redeploy the WAR on server startup.  Does anyone know how to do this?

To really make sure it gets deployed you have to delete the webapp from the
~/tomcat/work/servername directory.

So, if you want, add something to your startup.sh script (or startup.bat)
like
rm -rf /tomcathome/work/servername/webappname

That will clear it completely and force Tomcat to redeploy it.
I have Ant doing that job with something like this:

  <target name="redeploy" description="Removes the webapp from the
classloader">
    <delete dir="/tomcathome/work/servername/webappname"/>
  </target>

And I call that target from the <target name="compile"> target to make sure
my App is cleared from Tomcat.  I think the new Tomcat 4.1 has an integrated
Ant
task to do this, and maybe a better way in the manager app.  But until then
I
think you have to use one of these two options.
