war file doesnt explode

I'm sorry I know that this is the .jar forum and not the .war forum but I couldn't find anything more suitable.

I have written a java web app which I then exported into a .war file using eclipse. I have uploaded this file into my virtual server (at godaddy.com)into the 'webapps' directory. Now I thought that tomcat is suppossed to explode the file automatically into a new directory , however it is just sitting there doing nothing.

Godaddy tech support say that war files are only expanded once a day when they restart tomcat on the server however a day has come and gone and still nothing!

I would be very appreciative to know what is it I have forgotten to do

Thanks loads

have you tried to deploy your war locally (using a local tomcat server) ?your war may be corrupted or incomplete. ask tomcat admininstrator to check the server log file to see whether there are errors when trying to explode your war file.

sorry its taken so long for me to reply

I tried now running my war file localy here on tomcat 5.5 and it runs flawlessly.

The war is unpacket and I can browse in explorer to my web app .

However still no luck on my godaddy server, any other suggestions?

(btw- In my server If I go into the tomcat admin tool I can see my web app listed as a context under CATALINA so the server does recognize it ,it just wont unpackage it?)

thanks

Ahhh I've got it working now!

It turns out to be quite silly of me, there were two webapps folders on my server and I was using the wrong one,

sorry for the trouble.

Now for some reason I still can't browse to my new app/index.html page but that is a new problem

Thanks anyway!
