Hi QM,

So am I correct in thinking that I must:

   1) Stop Tomcat
   2) delete the .../conf/Catalina/localhost/myAPp.xml file
   3) copy the new version of the .war to /webapps
   4) restart tomcat

Do I also need to delete the unpacked version of the .war file
that Tomcat puts in .../webapps?

In general, what should I delete to completely remove a previously
deployed web app?

Can any of this be done with Tomcat running?

I'm running 5.0.28, if that matters.

Thanks.
