Deploying(copying webapp.war) and restarting tomcat doenst always deploy webapp. I have few tomcat servers, and I deploy a webapp.war file. This I do by copying the war file to the tomcat (stopped), and earlier webapp removed. I do a restart, which would install the webapp. Now after waiting for 30 secs, I delete the webapp.war file. There are times when the webapp doesnt exist.
Can't reproduce.
