           Summary: user-friendly suggestion
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: Unknown
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: Webapps:Manager
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: keen@ulster.net


Even though I realize this is a mistake someone makes only once...

When you "Deploy" an application in the webapps manager - it doesn't create a new application. It just 
makes a link between the application already existing in the webapps folder and tomcat manager. 
Therefore, you would think that when you click a link called "Undeploy" it would sever that link NOT delete 
the entire webapp folder - usually that kind of action is called, you know, "Delete." Therefore, for the sake 
of user-friendliness and to, you know, avoid the usual sadomasochistic Linux user-experience, maybe you 
should have the javascript popup say something useful along the lines of: "Are you sure - this will delete 
the webapp folder" - not just: "Are you sure" when the undeploying is really deleting.
