Unpack Apps

Hi there,

If I set up the virtual host with unpackWARS=true, does it mean I can just
drop a WAR file under webapps and have it automatically deployed when I
restart tomcat?
Is there anything special I have to do?

Thanks,

Regi

That tells Tomcat to unpack your .war to a directory before deploying 
it.  authodeploy="true" is the attribute you are interested in.  Tomat's 
default setup is set up like this.  So, yes, your .war files will be 
unpacked automatically.  Just note that if you define a <Context ...> 
element in server.xml or a context configuration file (see admin.xml and 
manager.xml), your .war file *won't* be unpacked.  You will have to unpack 
it yourself.  Odd behavior, but that is the way it is.
