The issue was the context.xml file. It had unpackWAR="false". But now I have another question... The war file will not expand when there is no existing directory for that application. But when there is an existing directory, the war file does not get expanded. I use reloadable="true" crossContext="true" and unpackWAR="true" in the context.xml file. I could not find any other attribute in the documentation to help.
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!

Have you looked at the Tomcat doc? http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html Specifically, the unpackWAR attribute would seem to be of interest. This can be set in conjunction with the override attribute to force all .war files to be expanded. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
