1. Yes we are using eclipse to deploy, rather a shortcut in eclipse generated by the maven plugin. 2. Our app is exploded when deployed. Re: is anything getting touched after deployment? We compared the timestamps of our war files before and after deployment, and not one file is different. We also deleted everything under "default server/tmp" in case something already compiled may be misbehaving...to no avail. Note: We tried deploying the war file without exploding it, and it worked perfectly. Thanks for looking into this for us.
