Strange application deploy issue

[Jonathan Gallimore <jo...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

Just a heads-up - I don't know if anyone else has seen this, but I've
noticed some odd behaviour with TomEE. When it finishes starting on my
machine, every application then refreshes/redeploys. In my case my app fails
to deploy second time around. I dug a bit deeper and this seems to happen
when Tomcat detects a change to conf/web.xml which it checks for by
monitoring its timestamp. We always seem to delete this file in the
Installers class which is called by the Tomcat hook.

I've changed this so this file only gets overwritten if its content has
actually changed. Hopefully this won't cause any problems, but please say if
it does.

Cheers

Jon

No problem, I'm glad it wasn't just me seeing it :)

You're the man! While debugging tomee I faced it a couple of times and
didn't know why it happened this way. Thanks for the fix. It was one
of the very few lately so much awaited and ultimately appreciated.
