War not being deployed automatically

[rh...@blast.net]

I'm new to Tomcat, so please forgive me if I am asking an obvious question, but why 
isn't my .war file deploying?

I dropped the war into the webapps directory and restarted Tomcat (as I have read to 
do), but the war is never deployed.

I don't have anything in the server.xml referencing it, it isn't being redeployed (no 
directory in webapps by the same name).  It works fine for someone else, so I guess the 
war file is fine.  If I unzip it and add the <Context> to server.xml it runs fine.  No war file 
has ever deployed, including those shipped with struts.

I'm running Redhat 7.3, installed Tomcat using the rpm distribution, no config changes 
other than adding a jar to the classpath and a few <Context> tags to the server.xml.  
Tomcat is installed as standalone.

Any help or pointers to docs would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Robert
