RE: Locked jar during Ant undeploy on Tomcat 5.5.3

Hi,

I'm experiencing a similar problem, I read the Tomcat docs and this thread first before submitting.

In my case, on freshly unzipped Tomcat versions 5.0.25, 5.0.28 and 5.5.4 the catalina ant task 'undeploy' encounters a locked jar-file situation. I suspect the jar-file is locked because the webapp's web.xml file specifies configuration files from that jar-file (n.b. for Spring context loading). The Tomcat production version I want to undeploy on is 5.0.25.

Also, the logs indicated Tomcat tries to redeploy the webapp after executing the undeploy task :

INFO: Server startup in 12359 ms
31-Mar-2005 17:07:37 org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase log
INFO: Removing web application at context path /mywebapp
31-Mar-2005 17:07:46 org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostDeployer install
INFO: Installing web application at context path /mywebapp from URL file:C:\webservers\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28\webapps\mywebapp
31-Mar-2005 17:07:46 org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig applicationConfig
INFO: Missing application web.xml, using defaults only StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/mywebapp]

Various options seem open to me, I want to try this list first because I can imagine this problem is common and goes beyond simple configuration errors ...

Kind regards,
Q

RE: Locked jar during Ant undeploy on Tomcat 5.5.3

Posted by Harry Hartley <hh...@pobox.com>.
I too have this problem too. This problem is not specific to your
application. If you choose to deploy that ever so simple struts-blank, and
then undeploy it, the undeploy works, but the locked jar files are still
there.
