http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37943 Summary: Deploying new war file does not update conf/catalina/localhost/[appname] Product: Tomcat 5 Version: 5.5.12 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: Catalina AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This bug has some similarities to bug #33572. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be fixed already or if this is expected behavior, but here is the scenario: - include META-INF/context.xml in myapp.war - deploy myapp.war to webapps for the first time. This unpacks the war to webapps/myapp and creates conf/catalina/localhost/myapp as a copy of the META-INF/context.xml in the war file - shutdown tomcat, delete conf/catalina/localhost/myapp, and make some change to webapps/myapp/META-INF/context.xml - restart tomcat. This recreates conf/catalina/localhost/myapp as a copy of the context.xml FROM the war file (which is now different from the context.xml in the unpacked webapps/myapp) - "PROBLEM #1" - This can be surprising and confusing. - stop tomcat. Put a new mayapp.war file in webapps with a changed META-INF/context.xml. Remove the old webapps/myapp directory. - restart tomcat. This unpacks the new war and puts the new cntext.xml in webapps/myapp/META-INF/context.xml. "PROBLEM #2" - The old conf/catalina/localhost/myapp is unchanged and this is what tomcat uses, not the new context.xml. Workaround - Be sure to remove conf/catalina/localhost/myapp when deploying a new myapp.war file. "PROBLEM #3" - This required deployment step is not documented. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
