On tomcat7 and tomcat8, documentation about deployment on Tomcat startup <http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/deployer-howto.html#Deployment_on_Tomcat_startup> says:
> The following deployment sequence will occur on Tomcat startup in that case: > > 1. Any Context Descriptors will be deployed first. > 2. Exploded web applications not referenced by any Context Descriptor will > then be deployed. If they have an associated .WAR file in the appBase and it > is newer than the exploded web application, the exploded directory will be > removed and the webapp will be redeployed from the .WAR > 3. .WAR files will be deployed When raising a bug (#56867 <https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56867>) about a behaviour not conforming to this documentation (as I understand it), I was answered to ask on the ML for information about this, so here it is. Why when updating WAR with exploded dir when Tomcat is stopped, the exploded dir is not updated on Tomcat startup and the old webapp is served? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
