Hi all,
I am curious if there are any cons to deploying a webapp without using a war
file.
None.
If you deploy a WAR Tomcat will (by default) unpack it and run it from
the unpacked directory anyway. If you configure Tomcat to run from the
packed WAR you will get a small performance hit.
Our web app has just always traditionally been 'unzipped' as a set of folders
within the Tomcat/webapps/ROOT directory. However I have been doing some
troubleshooting using procmon.exe from Sysinternals and it appears that tomcat
is constantly looking for Root.war file.
Define constantly. I'd expect Tomcat to be checking for a WAR file every
~15s if autodeploy is enabled.
Not sure if I have something misconfigured or this behavior is just normal?
The app will start up but does have some issues with loading all features
(takes 2+ hours) .
If the app is taking 2 hours to start then the app has some serious issues.
Running Tomcat 8.0.43.
Tomcat 8.0.x reached end of support on 30 June 2018.
Tomcat 8.5.x (that replaced 8.0.x) reached end of life on 31 March 2024.
You need to upgrade to at least 9.0.x ASAP. I'd suggest a quick upgrade
to 9.0.x and then start looking at moving to 10.1.x or even 11.0.x but
that is a bigger job due to the Java EE -> Jskarta EE repackaging.
