That's not quite true. The autoDeploy attribute allows deployment of applications on the fly, but only monitors the following for existing applications: * An update to the WEB-INF/web.xml file will trigger a reload of the web application * An update to a WAR which has been expanded will trigger an undeploy (with a removal of the expanded webapp), followed by a deployment * An update to a XML configuration file will trigger an undeploy (without the removal of any expanded directory), followed by a deployment of the associated web application If you're changing jars or class files under WEB-INF, you need a <WatchedResource> element inside the <Context> for the webapp. By default, only WEB-INF/web.xml is monitored. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
