WAR files not autodeployed when changed

           Summary: WAR files not autodeployed when changed
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.19
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: George.Lindholm@ubc.ca


An applications WAR file is not redeployed automatically when the
war file is updated.

The problem is that HostConfig.checkContextLastModified() is seeing the
wrong value for what it thinks is the name of the WAR file. Instead of
seeing "myubc.war" it sees "ROOT" so the

  if (files[i].endsWith(".war")) {

test at line 843 always fails since files[0]="ROOT"


Here is the server.xml entries for the Context:

    <Engine name="myUBC" defaultHost="scandia">
      <Host name="scandia" appBase="webapps"
        unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true" workDir="work">
        <Context path="" docBase="/local/src/myUBC2/myubc.war" reloadable="false">
