Hi Friends

I have this problem when I try to deploy my webapp(name:auditadmin.war) on tomcat 5.05.

I did the following:auditadmin.war was already deployed & working fine.Then I edited one jsp page rebuilt it using ant & deployed the new war file.Till then I am getting the error mentioned below.

The stack trace is :

Can anyone please help me out?

Answer 1

The API says that the ZipException gets thrown because of an error in the zip format. So my guess would be that something went wrong with building the war. I don't think that the edit of the file had a direct influence. Are you sure you used the same build script?

Answer 2

Your ZIP/WAR/EAR/JAR file is corrupted.
