Hi all,
I have a web application WAR deployed on tomcat 6.
steps followed for deploying the web application.
Stop tomcat server.
copy WAR file to catalina base folder.
Start tomcat server.
WAR file exploded and proper directory structure created at catalina base folder.
Application is running fine without any issues, now if i go ahead and directly update some text file which is a part of exloded folder (no change to war file still same old war file which was copied at start) and bounce (stop - start) the tomcat server, how will tomcat behave, will it cleanup the exloded directory structure and re-explode the war file and my changes will be lost or will it do nothing and my changes will be intact.
Thanks,
Sandeep
