WAR file question

[Wyn Easton <wy...@yahoo.com>]

Hi All,

What do I need to do to completely replace my web application?
I thought I could put a new copy of my WAR file in the webapps
directory and Tomcat would re-extract it at start-up, thus replacing my
web application.  This does not seem to work the way I thought.
What are the steps required to replace a web application?
Thanks.

PS-I'm on 3.2 beta 6

Hi,

in order to replace completely a web application in war format you have to:
1) stop tomcat
2) replace the war file (e.g. myappl.war) in the webapps folder
3) remove the web application folder (e.g. myappl)in the webapps folder 
4) start tomcat

Good luck!
