Hello Team, Currently I have apache-tomcat-8.5.23 installed and running on RHEL7.x86_64. I have a war deployed and application is running under tomcat. While application is running, if i make any manual changes to some config files [ context.xml or server.xml or web.xml] and noticed Tomcat is restarting application even though I haven't called tomcat service start script.
My intention is, 1) At first when there's initial war deployed and tomcat service start script is called, tomcat should extract war and app should work 2) Second, While tomcat is in running state and application is running and if i make any manual changes to any tomcat config file, I do not want application to auto magically restart. *my server.xml looks as below* <Host name="localhost" appBase-"webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"> I also looked at your docs and researched online, but unclear on these parameters what to use when. [ setting autoDeploy=false (or) having deployIgnore attribute somewhere ?] Thanks in Advance, Srinath
