That came as a shock .. can you confirm whether this behaviour is new to tomcat 5.5 .. since I am fairly sure that I have deleted *.war files in older tomcat installations, leaving the deployed webapp, plus added files, intact. What is the correct procedure for deleting the *.war after deployment (since it just is an archive of the installed webapp). It would be helpful to understand the tomcat policy for deleting files. Not even a warning was given! "Are you sure you want to delete this webapp?" ... As to reverting to backup files, I do have some old backups (going back a couple of months), but unfortunately recently developed apps (not backed up) were lost. So I have started applying disk data recovery utilities and I have recovered some of the tomcat deleted files. It is a long recovery process but I'll be more careful with *.war files in future. Perhaps locating the developed apps outside the tomcat server webapps folder? And more frequent backups. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/my-webapps-lost-after-deleting-*.war-tf2843105.html#a7952906 Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
