Apache Tomcat/5.5.12 Deployment issue
Apache Tomcat/5.5.12 will not always deploy WAR files correctly. the issue is that not all directories or files will be expanded which the servlet needs to execute. it's almost as if the deployer just quits partway through.
i have found a way around this by restarting the server, and re-deploying. this issue is with the web-based tomcat manager. with this project i am not using any other means of deployment.
if anyone has an idea of what i might be doing wrong help me out. I haven't had problems with previous versions of tomcat. thanks.
