Tomcat needs restart to unpack WARs?

409 Views Asked by At

I'm developing webapps in Netbeans. I generate the WAR file and drop it into the webapps folder under tomcat home. I see it in the manager app automatically, but it doesn't unpack the contents of the WAR file until I restart the Tomcat service. Heres the config in server.xml:

<Host name="localhost"  appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">

Am I missing some configuration there to make it unpack WARs by itself? Any help appreciated!

EDIT

Also, it's not AutoDeploying. I see it in the manager app, but I have to manually start it by clicking on the start button.
