Hi, I am running tomcat 8.5.16 with 64 bit Oracle Java 8.0.144 on a LinuxMint box. My Java REST app worked fine until I renamed my packages. So, for example, my startup listener was in a package named:
com.abc.utils.StartupListner webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/web.xml reflected that with: <listener-class>com.abc.utils.StartupListener</listener-class> and it all worked. I change all my classes and I changed webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/web.xml to: <listener-class>io.def.utils.StartupListener</listener-class> However, whenever I startup tomcat my something is changing webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/web.xml back to: <listener-class>com.abc.utils.StartupListener</listener-class> I updated webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/web.xml back to: <listener-class>io.def.utils.StartupListener</listener-class> and then searched everything in the tomcat tree for "com.abc" but it didn't exist anywhere. However, when I run tomcat again, it again changes webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/web.xml back to: <listener-class>com.abc.utils.StartupListener</listener-class> My app is not being distributed as a war file. I have it all extracted under the webapps directory. I can't figure out what is causing tomcat to remember the old package path. Sure appreciate any help. Thanks! Blake McBride
