Tomcat 5.5 won't auto-deploy my web app

Hi all,
I have Tomcat 5.5.17 installed with the J2SDK 1.4.2.12 on Windows Server
2003 and it is running just fine. The server.xml has only been changed
from its default state to set the port # to 80. (There is no other web
server on this PC.) When I drop a WAR file into the Tomcat5.5\webapps
folder though, Tomcat does not auto-deploy it. Restarting The Tomcat
service does cause Tomcat to deploy the WAR file. Also, I am able to
deploy via the manager webapp without having to restart.

This is the HOST line in my server.xml if that helps any: 

<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true"
autoDeploy="true" xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">


What else might affect this?
Did I read somewhere that Tomcat will only auto-deploy WAR files once?
Once per what?


Thank you,
~Peter R

Martin,
After a few moments of working on it, that works just fine.

What does that tell you?

Thanks for thinking about this.

~Peter

yes
what happens when you specifically deploy the generated war 
i.e.
go to MANAGER
GO TO bottom of page
Browse for your NameOfWebapp.war and click Deploy
?

Sorry - I should have said. We do have the JDK 1.4 Compatibility files
installed within Tomcat 5.5.

So, this should work then?
