One thing I forgot to mention is: - After restart I can delete the webapp.war file, I see that the app is undeployed. - Now if I recopy the webapp.war with JBoss still running, the war file is successfully deployed and the context works in IE. If I restart JBoss, I lose the context again. Hope this will help you point what I am missing.
