Possible newbie question, but I have not found any faqs addressing this:

I just did a vanilla install of 4.1.29 on a linux box. Connecting to
localhost:8080 seems to work fine and I can run the example servlets,
etc. In netbeans I made a trivial servlet that just spits back some
helloworld html. It works within netbeans' built-in tomcat. I export
this as a .war file, and copy it into tomcat's webapps folder (the real
tomcat, not the netbeans one). Nothing happens, ie., I cannot access
that servlet via tomcat, and examining the webapps/ directory reveals
that the war file was not unpacked. I stopped and restarted tomcat -
still no love.

If I manually inflate the war file inside of webapps/ROOT, then I have a
working servlet.

I've looked at conf/server.xml and verified that the unpackWARS and
autodeploy settings are both lit.

Not sure what the next step is, so I thought I'd ask here. The goal is
to be able to simply copy a .war into the right place and have a running
tomcat deploy the servlet corerctly.

cheers,
-joe
