Does Tomcat reload work w/noejb?

[robjellinghaus]

When I try it (with "ant -f build.tomcat.xml redeploy"), I get the stupid Tomcat ThreadDeath, and then I get:

[ContainerBackgroundProcessor[StandardEngine[Catalina]]] 2006-02-04 12:32:27,968 INFO HostConfig:982 - Undeploying context [/tomcat-seam-noejb]
[ContainerBackgroundProcessor[StandardEngine[Catalina]]] 2006-02-04 12:32:27,968 INFO HostConfig:783 - Deploying web application archive tomcat-seam-noejb.war
[ContainerBackgroundProcessor[StandardEngine[Catalina]]] 2006-02-04 12:32:28,265 INFO ContextConfig:311 - Missing application web.xml, using defaults only StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/tomcat-seam-noejb]

Why does it not find web.xml on redeploy? Do other people have this working?

Yes, I know Tomcat sucks for hot-swap. I don't really expect to get it working, honestly (I already have targets to shut Tomcat down completely, deploy, then start it up again). Yeah yeah real app server etc. Problem is I want to host this on lower-end providers, so Tomcat is my target....

Cheers,

p.s. No, this is not absolute latest CVS.

I was never able to make redeploy work, so I actually removed the target from the build script. My impression is that Tomcat hot redeployment is basically non-working stuff...
