Tomcat / JSC Issue

Found the solution. It is really a Tomcat issue, and nothing to do with JSC.

The problem is Tomcat locks up some jar files in the web-inf/lib directory, and so the undeploy can't happen. Therefore Tomcat has to be shutdown, and directory deleted before another version of the WAR file can be deployed.

Here is how I solved this problem:

I found that I have to add a file META-INF/context.xml with the following contents:

<Context antiJARLocking="true" antiResourceLocking="true">

</Context>

And everything (undeploy / deploy / hot-deploy) worked fine after that!

There are two ways to solve this issue:

1). One way to apply it is to modify the file conf/context.xml in your TomCat install and change

<context> ... </context>

to

<context antiJARLocking="true" antiResourceLocking="true"> ... </context>

The above change will take care of all apps deployed.

2). Second way is to add a file META-INF/context.xml (inside each app that you deploy) with the following contents:

<Context antiJARLocking="true" antiResourceLocking="true">

</Context>
