Description Stephanie Bodoff 2002-08-29 23:05:25 UTC

If I set the Unpack WARs flag to true using the Administration tool, save, and
commit the file and then restart Tomcat, WARs in the webapps directory are not
unpacked. However, if I modify the original server.xml to set the flag to true
or false, the property is observed.

Tomcat does not extract war file contents which are mentioned in server.xml.
For example, add "<Context path="/SEA" docBase="SEA" debug="0"/>" in 
server.xml. Even unpackWars is still set to true, SEA.WAR won't be unpacked 
anymore.

Cannot reproduce.  Can you try with the latest build and reopen if the problem
still exists?  Also, make sure to undeploy all webapps that you're trying to
unpack in the webapps directory - build\work\Standalone\localhost is clear of
all remaining files.
