What is the expected behaviour of Tomcat 4 when starting/stopping
in regards to unpacking war files.
I noticed what to me seems like strange behaviour.
The Host is configured in server.xml with unpackWARs="true".
ls of webapps before starting tomcat, notice that some of the war
files are not expanded out.
$ ls -l webapps

What is the point in having Tomcat 4 unpack the war files if it removes
the unpacked war file directory when Tomcat stops?
Why are some unpacked war file directories removed, and others are left alone?
What if you modified the web application you installed, or it manages some
properties files in its own WEB-INF/classes directory?
Is this the expected behaviour?

Glenn
