Thanks, I tried this and so far it looks like it does what I need it to do. Tomcat runs as a windows service and I can manipulate multiple web apps with the Tomcat Manager without the file locking problem. It is interesting that Tomcat created a temp folder and deployed the webapp there, which is similiar to what JRun does. Thanks again. Joe

Isn't Windows wonderful? (That's a rhetorical question.) You need to set the antiJARLocking and antiResourceLocking attributes in the <Context> elements for your webapps; look here for the doc: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/context.html#Standard%20Implementation - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
