I have a problem with redeploying a WAR in
Tomcat 5.5.20. Every time I drop a WAR into the $CATALINA_HOME/webapps directory the application becomes unusable, pages and
servlets return 404's. So I tried the struts-blank-1.3.5.war that comes packaged with
Struts and I get the same behavior:
-Drop the WAR into $CATALINA_HOME/webapps and it gets deployed:
-Point a browser at
http://localhost:8080/struts-blank-1.3.5/ and I see some greeting text.
-Touch the WAR to force Tomcat to redeploy:
-Note that the redeploy is not as verbose as the deploy
-Navigate to
http://localhost:8080/struts-blank-1.3.5/ and get a 404.
Stopping Tomcat and removing the exploded directories is really slowing down my development. Anyone else see the same thing?
