Autodeploy fails

[Rick Dettwyler <rd...@pgamlp.com>]

I have tomcat 5.5 working on both linux and Windows. I am using the
default configuration. When I copy a WAR file to webapps/, it will be 
autodeployed successfully but only the first time. If I "touch" that
same WAR file, the autodeploy will fail, as it leaves the 
webapps/[appname]/[appname].log file, which it cannot remove, and won't
deploy, as the target directory already exists. I have to 
stop tomcat, remove that file, then restart tomcat, touch the WAR file
again and only then will it autodeploy. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Is your webapp writing to its own deployment directory?  If so, that's
really a bad idea.  What would happen if the .war were not expanded?

In any event, you could put in a listener for your webapp, and have it
close and remove the extra file you created.
