Maven generated a WAR via an automated build, but then the WAR had to be manually tweaked so that an Apache/Tomcat combo on another computer could host the WAR.
The logs didn’t provide much info, so I’m looking at the exploded WAR folder of a working WAR and non-working WAR.
Would you just use WinMerge (Mac OC Windiff-like tool) for reviewing the differences in the exploded WAR contents between the working and non-working WAR?
Is there something in particular that you’d look for in the non-working WAR?
Answer
I have had to do this before though in linux. I exploded both the war files out and did
$ diff --brief -r originalwebapp.war/ newwebapp.war/
This lists all the files that are different between the two archives. Hopefully, it will be a few files – most likely in the WEB-INF/ folder re: configuration of one form or another OR maybe libs being moved around.
