Hi there,

I’ve been deployment my projet to tomcat 5 for a long time without problems, redeploying when needed, and usually the auto deployment worked fine.

lately, I’ve been generating war files of my project, and trying them in tomcat. for doing this, I was undeploying the project and just copying the new war.

After a while playing with this, I realized that when removing the war and the exploded folder, and then trying to deploy my project again from My Eclipse, the following error was been shown: “Undefined exploded archive location”.

I’m 100% sure I haven’t modified any of my tomcat setting, not in Tomcat, nor in the server preferences in My Eclipse.

Due to this problem, now I can just work with the latest changes if I compile a war every time, what obviously slows down all development.

Could anyone help with this problem??

thanks a lot

Vicente,
If you open your project properties, and go down to MyEclipse then the Web settings, do you have values in both of the text boxes? It’s possible that one (the 2nd one) of these boxes accidentally had it’s value lost and now MyEclipse doesn’t know where to deploy your project to.

Good one. I don’t know why, but the second box “Context root” was set to “/”, instead of the name of my project. Not sure how it was changed, but now it’s back to normal.

Thanks a lot for the help, this was driving me nuts.

Vicente,
I’m glad that did the trick.
