Context declarations causing war files not to be expanded

           Summary: Context declarations causing war files not to be
                    expanded
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.1 Final
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: tony@dahbura.com


When specifying a context in the server.xml file, and placing the application in 
the webapps directory as a war file, tomcat does not expand it out.  Tomcat 
gives the following error at startup:

2002-04-23 10:01:37 StandardContext[/resourcetracker]: Error initializing 
resources: Document base /cust/jakarta-tomcat-4.1/webapps/resourcetracker does 
not exist or is not a readable directory

due to previous errors

after start failed

If instead I remove the context specification from the server.xml file the 
application war file is expanded at startup and everything proceeds as expected. 
 It appears the expansion handling is not called first when specifying a context 
under the <host> tag.

The virtual host is defined as follows:

   <!-- Define the default virtual host -->
      <Host name="localhost" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true">

underneath it is the following context tag:
 <Context path="/resourcetracker" docBase="resourcetracker" debug="0"
                 reloadable="true" unpackWARs="true">

          <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
                     prefix="localhost_resourcetracker_log." suffix=".txt"
              timestamp="true"/>

 </Context>
