Or if you're running Tomcat 4.0 and have unpackWARs="false", the war isn't unzipped. I think that's Sun's goal. In the same way jars aren't unpacked before you can use the .class files, .wars shouldn't have to be unpacked.

If you don't like .wars, you shouldn't like .jars, for the same reasons :) > Regards, > > // Ola -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
