Description

I have experiencing a wierd problem with MyFaces while deploying it to Tomcat Application Server

->Deploying the web application for the first time works using MyFaces 1.1.1 or MyFaces 1.0.9 onto Tomcat 5.0.28 or 5.5

-> When i Undeploy the application using Tomcat Manager Console the problem starts
1) it doesnt removes the application completely from the webapps directory of Tomcat. The left over folder will be WEB-INF/lib/myfaces*.jar files
2) when i try to physically delete this folder it pops up with a Alert saying myfaces.jar is used by another person or program whereas the fact is no other program is deployed onto Tomcat or i see no references of it. Anyhow Undeploy from Tomcat should completly remove the web application without leaving a foot print of WEB-INF/lib/myfaces*.jar folder saying its referenced by other program

3) So finally i stop the Tomcat application server. Now i am in a position to physically delete the web application under webapps directory i.e. WEB-INF/lib/myfaces*.jar

4) Now onwards subsequent fresh deployments of web application will not go thru and give following error message

Sep 20, 2006 5:18:18 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployWAR
INFO: Deploying web application archive TestFaces.war
log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.commons.digester.Digester.sax).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
Sep 20, 2006 5:18:22 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Error listenerStart
Sep 20, 2006 5:18:22 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Context [/TestFaces] startup failed due to previous errors

5) So i look at the webapp folder quite amazingly the application got deployed successfully with all the jar files etc i mean the packaging is perfect but the tomcat console shows the error and also the application doest show up on Tomcat Manager Console

6) Also i figured out the application automatically got undeployed by refreshing the tomcat console from the following message & webapp folder
