Hi all,

If one pushes a .war containing files outside of WEB-INF, deletes the app,
then pushes a new version where those files outside of WEB-INF have been
changed, these changes are not reflected in the running app. Is this
expected behaviour? The buildpack is forked, from commit 71ab82a
<https://github.com/cloudfoundry/java-buildpack/commit/71ab82af4cd95465dcbc35eb89f3ac9dc9431e9a>
.

Seems odd. Every time you stage an app, you should get a copy of the
latest app bits (i.e. what was pushed up by cf). If you're not getting the
latest set of files, I don't think that would be a build pack problem. The
DEA should provide the build pack with the latest set of your files, if
it's not I don't think there's much the build pack can do about it.

I was just about to go about creating a repeatable test case and raising a
GitHub issue, but figured it'd be best to check that this isn't the way
it's *supposed* to work.

A test case would be a good idea. You could post it here, I'd be happy to
play around with it. Steps to repro would also be helpful.

For the record I realise that resources should be in WEB-INF by
convention, but the users where I am are expecting feature parity with
non-CF Tomcat which unpacks the whole .war.

Many thanks in advance,
