Re[2]: unpackwars-"true" ??

[Jacob Kjome <ho...@visi.com>]

Hello Mehdi,

This is a known bug/feature.  Don't remember which bug in Apache's bug
database, but you should either be able to find it by search the list
archives or searching the Apache bug database.

I can kind of understand why it doesn't do it automatically since the
<Context> element configuration could point directly to the .war file
itself making the unpacking an extra unneeded step.  However, I would
think that if the docBase attribute points to a directory, Tomcat
could look for the referenced directory.  If that doesn't exist, it
could then look for a .war file of the same name as the referenced
directory (minus .war) at the same directory level as would
contain the referenced directory and unpack it just like Tomcat
normally does when the <Context> element doesn't exist.

MNbc> Does the name of the context, as specified in the <context> element of

MNbc> Also, consider upgrading to 4.0.4 to get the latest bugfixes ;)  Should
MNbc> be a trivial move from 4.0.2 to 4.0.4.
