Thanks for the suggestion. I tried Tomcat's Manager-App with the apache-tomcat-6.0.18.exe running as a windows service. It says the web app is stopped but windows still holds on to the files. I tried stopping App1 with App2 still running and replacing a file in App1 but windows wouldn't let me. I had to stop the Tomcat windows service first which then stopped both apps. I had hoped to be able to start/stop web apps running as a windows service. I think I could do it with multiple Tomcat instances instead of one Tomcat instance with multiple web apps. Regards, Joe
