WAR files don't unpack if the webapp is already there

[James Turner <tu...@blackbear.com>]

I'm going through the standard compile->edit->test look on some 
applications using JBuilder and Tomcat right now. I've got JBuilder 
creating a new WAR file in TOMCAT_HOME/webapps on rebuild, but I need to 
delete the old webapp directory before Tomcat will notice the new one and 
unpack it. Is this a feature of Tomcat? Shouldn't it notice if the webapp 
directory is out of date in comparison to the WAR file?

It's a feature. Sucks, huh?

Not sure what you mean by "new ones", but TC 4.0.3 does
NOT unpack wars if the directory already exists regardless
of the "reloadable" flag.

Older versions of Tomcat don't, new ones will if you set "reloadable" to
true in the context.  It will monitor WEB-ING/lib and WEB-INF/classes for
changes and reload if it detects any.

This canj cause a performance degradation on your server so you may only
want to do this for development.

[Rick Fincher <rn...@tbird.com>]

We need a FAQ for this list. Is there one already somewhere?

A lot of the questions are answered in the docs, but you have to know where
to find them.

A FAQ with links to the relevant doc pages would be great.

If one doesn't exist, maybe we can make one and just post it to the list
once a week.
