Hi to all, While playing with TC 5.5.17 and refactoring my apps to use it, I saw a strange and show stopper behaviour.
I create a webapp, named myapp.war. This application need some specific configuration to tailor it from one customer to another. I created a context file : $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/myapp.xml While Tomcat is running if I remove $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/myapp.war and deployed webapp $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/myapp/ directory, the context file is deleted by Tomcat. No more luck with host-manager : To deploy an updated webapp I should : Undeploy the old webapp, http://mysys/manager/html/undeploy?path=/myapp When I do that, the context file, $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/myapp.xml , is removed. When deploying the new WAR, the .war is copied to webapps directory and expanded, but the context is lost and not recreated or restored from the previous copy. Questions : - Could we make the undeploy strategy keep the old context file in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost, may be renamed and restore it when application is redeployed ? - Alternativly, could we prevent Tomcat to remvoe the context file when undeploying the webapp ?
