Tomcat does not undeploy all the files.

Question

All,

I am using tomcat 5. and i am using manager application to undeploy a war file from remote. It deletes war file and all extracted files. But it does not delete one jar(lib/struts.jar) file. I do not know what the reason is. I need to delete all the files even the webserver(tomcat5) is running.

Thanks, Srinivsan r.

We had this problem with Struts 1.3.8 but it was fixed in 1.3.10. If you are using the old Struts, please upgrade.

Here is the related bug,
