Autodeply feature of Tomcat and problems with RichFaces

[steven.whatmore]

Good afternoon,

I am using the auto-deploy feature of Tomcat 5.5 and am having problems in redeploying my application.

The WAR file gets removed fine and Tomcat attempts to blow away the exploded webapp directory for the WAR file but leaves behind the following files in the WEB-INF\lib directory

ajax4jsf-1.1.0.jar
ehcache-1.2.4.jar
jsf-impl.jar

which I am assuming is related to somesort of threading issue and the files being essentially locked when Tomcat attempts to remove them (?!?) .

I am executing a stop command for this webapp prioring to trying to execute the undeploy command but to no avail.

Is this a known issue and is there a work-around?

Thanks in advance.

Whatty

I am not 100% sure how the OSS development works with RichFaces and JBoss but is there a mechanism to escalate these types of issues?
