Tomcat Not Deploying Wars. Please help

[Ryan Bailey]

I have done this a zillion times but for some reason tomcat has decided not to deploy my wars. I am using eclipse with an eclipse plugin to generate the wars. I checked the server.xml file and the localhost is set to unpackWars. I get no error message, it just simply does not extract my war file. I can manually extracted it with winzip. when I do that everything works perfectly but I don't want to manually do that everything. I'm just a lazy programmer! Has anyone else ran into this problem before, our am I just going NUTS!!
I am using Tomcat 4.1.
Thanks in advance,
Ryan

Did you also define a context in server.xml ?

I had trouble getting the unpackWARs to work properly when the webapp was ALSO defined in server.xml.

It was quite frustrating... Here are links...

Mike,
Thank you very much. When I get home I'll look for a context entry in server.xml.
I was about ready to pull my hair out. Do you know of any other cases where this condition might also occur? If I'm not mistaken I do not think I put a context entry in server.xml unless I clicked on the wrong entry in eclipse. I surely will double-check though.
Thank you again,
Ryan

Mike,
Thanks you very much.
That was my problem. I would of never figured it out if you hadn't told me.
Thank you.
