How to version a war file for tomcat-CodePudding

I want to version the war file in tomcat. The name of the war file should be as follow: main-1.0.0.war, and it should be deployed as .../webapps/main. In order to achive this, I changed the "HOST" tag in server.xml. I added "<Context path..." in between the HOST tag

But when Tomcat starts now, it creates two directories. "main" and "main-1", and two tomcat instances are started. How can I prevent Tomcat creating main-1 ?

<Host name="localhost"  appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">  
    <Context path="/main" docBase="/main-1" debug="0" reloadable="true"></Context>
</Host>

CodePudding user response：

Simply don't deploy your WAR file to the webapps directory. As you're using a context specific configuration, your docbase can be anywhere, and you can configure an absolute path to your WAR file.

Anything that's found in the webapps directory is automatically deployed.
Anything that's configured explicitly is also deployed.

Eliminate one of these conditions, and you're left with the other.
