When a war is put t o CATALINA_HOME/webapps

[Timothy Sam]

Hi, I got a few questions when a war is put to CATALINA_HOME/webapps


1. Is a context file created or is it mapped(specified) somewhere?
2. Where is it created?
3. How can I undeploy it? Is it enough that I delete the war and the directory tomcat produced?


Thanks!

1.) If you have a context fragment file under /META-INF, it will be copied to {tomcat install}/conf/Catalina/localhost

2.) See 1

3.) Yes.

You can also deply/un-deploy, and check the status of your webapps from the tomcat manager application.
