There are lots of nasty edge cases in the deployment process. This has been cleaned up in 7.0.x and 8.0.x but not in 6.0.x. See http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/config/automatic-deployment.html for the behaviour in 8.0.x. > Thanks > > Le 02/12/2014 10:36, m...@ow2.org a écrit : >> Hello, >> >> I'm facing an issue with tomcat 6.

What is being done exactly ? undeloy - means stop the app and remove any references to it from CATALINA_BASE/conf/<engine>/<host> and CATALINA_BASE/webapps deploy - means tell Tomcat about the app and start it.

It just might not function that well.
