When I try to deploy a web project using Exploded Archive mode to a container with a home folder located under the project root itself (e.g. Project/apps/jetty-6.1.14) the deployment silently fails to copy any files into the webapps dir. There are no errors reported in my workspace/.metadata/.log. The Servers view appears as if the operation suceeded, showing the deployment with OK status and the proper Mode and Location values, but the operation completes too quickly and there are no files to be found upon a refresh of the webapps dir for the container.

A subsequent redeploy fails with a dialog containing a lengthy message that seems boil down to: “I can’t find the exploded WAR to remove prior to redeployment so I punt.” There is also the following in workspace/.metadata/.log:

!MESSAGE Deployment is out of date due to changes in the underlying project contents. You'll need to manually 'Redeploy' the project to update the deployed archive.

Unlike Redeploy the Remove Deployment command quietly succeeds.

It works fine for Packaged Archived mode .war deployments (but then no hot-swapping of course). Exploded mode works if the container home is located in another project, or anywhere else on disk that is not under the Web project’s root.

I’ve reproduced this with two different projects in two different workspaces. On one the container was Jetty 6.1.14, and for the other it was Tomcat 6.0.18.

The motivation for locating the container install within the project root was to have it conveniently located for version control as well as configuration overlays performed by Ant targets in the project’s build file.

This is happening same for the weblogic/tomcat out side the webproject also. when i first run the project on a server it deploys fine. but once in wish to redeploy it .. it just could not copy all the files into the specified exploded directory. tested on both the tomacat 5.5 and weblogic 9.2
Hope you solve it soon.
Regards,
Jeevan

g1_4all,

A PR is filed for this issue. If you have deployed a web project using exploded archive, you need not redeploy again, it automatically gets redeployed.

Thank you.
