deployment quirk in Tomcat5. Bug?
When deploying war files in Tomcat-5.0.16, I noticed something a little odd.
After using the ant manager deploy task and then doing an undeploy, manually
dropping the war file into CATALINA_HOME/webapps trigger auto-deployment.
For example, say I have "myapp.war". I just drop this into Tomcat5's webapps
directory and it deploys the app as expected. I can do an undeploy via the
html manager interface and it undeploys as expected. I can repeat this ad-
infinitum and everything works fine.
Now, I deploy "myapp.war" via the ant manager deploy task and it deploys as
expected. Then I undeploy it with the html manager interface. Now I try
dropping the war file manually into webapps as explained above. This time, the
war does not deploy. If I restart Tomcat5, manual deployment works fine
again...until after the first time I use the ant manager deploy task, of course.
I can't imagine this is "expected behavior". Well, at least I didn't expect
it. Can anyone else confirm what exactly "expected behavior" is before I
report a bug on this?

Which is why I posted the question here, Remy. Seriously, take it easy.

Thanks for the info.

Don't bother: there's no use case for this, other than giving me a headache.
I don't find auto deploy very useful anyway, given that Tomcat doesn't
have a fancy deployer like JBoss. It works much better when used in its
simple scenario (you want to deploy or update a WAR) rather than more
complex stuff, when you should really use the manager.
For non development stuff, forget about the auto deployer, and use
exclusively the manager.
BTW, for updating a WAR with the auto deployer, you don't need to
undeploy first with the manager, and then copy the WAR over again:
simply overwrite the WAR and the webapp will be undeployed and then
redeployed.

Whoops...
" manually dropping the war file into CATALINA_HOME/webapps trigger auto-
deployment."
Should say...
" manually dropping the war file into CATALINA_HOME/webapps *won't* trigger
auto-deployment."
I believe it *should* continue to trigger auto-deployment where it doesn't
currently.
