Hello, I am using tomcat 8.0.22.0. My Catalina_Home is set to "C:\tomcat". IDE: Netbeans. Language: Java.
For some reason, when I deploy a web application in Netbeans that has the name "applicationName" and context path: "/applicationName" I do not see the application in the c:\tomcat\webapps folder. Can someone help me figure out what is not configured correctly? All I see is 4 folders "docs, examples, host-manager, manager." Interestingly, if I undeploy one of these 4 folders in netbeans, then this change is reflected immediately in path c:\tomcat\webapps (ie: I see 3 folders). However, as I said, deploying "applicationName" does not result in the folder being available in c:\tomcat\webapps (as it should). The whole reason I got into this was because I stopped seeing the tomcat favicon in my application all of a sudden (I suspect because I changed the context path from "/applicationName" to "/"). Now I would like to see the favicon and would like to understand why I am not seeing the deployed application where I should. My application is deployed successfully and runs fine (I just don't see it in c:\tomcat\webapps). Thank you.
