Undeploy fails with Tomcat 7 manager application
Hi group,
we are using Tomcat 7.0.21 on Windows XP with the manager application for remote deployment. Tomcat is configured to unpack wars. Deploying works. However undeploy fails for the following reason:
FAIL - Unable to delete [C:\Programme\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\webapps\mywebapp]. The continued presence of this file may cause problems.
The exploded WAR file mywebapp is still in the webapp folder. The war file gets deleted. Now, we can't even redeploy or deploy. We have to manually delete the folder mywebapp.
Any ideas?
- Björn

Use a ServletContextListener like this to both configure and shutdown
log4j:
public class Log4jListener
implements ServletContextListener
{
private Logger logger;
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent e)
{
// Trigger loading of the log4j.properties file from the
classpath.
new PropertyConfigurator();
logger = Logger.getLogger(this.getClass());
logger.info("Log4j initialized");
}
public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent e)
{
if(LogManager.class.getClassLoader()
.equals(this.getClass().getClassLoader()))
{
logger.info("Log4j was loaded by application classloader;
shutting down.");
LogManager.shutdown();
}
else
{
logger.info("Log4j was loaded by some other ClassLoader;
not shutting down.");
}
}
}

Understood. Thanks! I changed the logfile location to be the log folder of the
tomcat server and the redeploy is working (amongst 10 redeploys only 1
failed). I am using log4j so I don't control the process of shutting down the
logging system (at least I wouldn't know how to).

Sounds like you aren't properly shutting-down your logging system when
your webapp undeploys. That would result in the file staying open and
thus being unavailable for delete.
I agree with Pid that putting application log files into the
deployment directory is a bad idea in general: they'll get deleted
when you redeploy :)

Writing the log file (or any file) inside the app isn't such a good
idea. Try putting it in the tomcat/logs directory.

The logfile is created within the application deployed to the webapps
directory of tomcat (and there within "[applicationName]\resources\log").
I am not trying to delete it. However, when issuing the redeploy command with
maven the problem appears ("The continued presence of this file may
cause problems.") and the application cannot be redeployed. Even when
trying to undeploy the application via the tomcat manager (via the manager
gui button "undeploy") it cannot be undeployed completely. Only the
war file and all application files except the log file are removed. Only
when stopping tomcat can the application be completely removed. After
starting tomcat again I can deploy again successfully.

Where is the log file created? Why are you trying to delete it?

Hello,
I am too having this problem because the logfile which is created by log4j
cannot be deleted since tomcat7 is still accessing it. I don't think this
would be called a memory leak!? Even when trying to delete it manually in the
file browser it doesn't work. After tomcat is stopped the logfile can be
deleted manually.
Is this a bug or can it somehow be fixed?
Regards,
Mike

Any Java profiler should do the job.
I use YourKit because they give free copies to Apache committers.

Could you recommend a tool to show us these files? Its a JSF application, so you are right, there are some properties files needed.

Fix the memory leaks that are causing one or more files to be left open
in the unpacked web application.
