[jetty-discuss] My servlet's unjar'd war file has vanished from /tmp

[Mark P. <msp...@gm...>]

Good day.

Twice in the last several months, I have noticed what appears to be
the spontaneous vanishing of my servlet's unjar'd war file from /tmp.

When Jetty6 starts, I see it print to the console

Extract jar:file:/foo/jetty-6.1.3/webapps/TheApp.war!/ to
/tmp/Jetty_0_0_0_0_1021_[long hashed path]

where I have sanitized the webapp name and unjar'd path.

But now, when I go to list the unjar'd war file in /tmp, I find it has
vanished, yet the container is still running.  And my servlet is still
functioning more or less correctly, as the classes it needs are
probably all loaded into memory.

The host on which this servlet runs hosts a second Jetty6 container,
which I mention
for no other reason than completeness.  That second container's only
webapp still has its unjar'd war file in /tmp - for now.

Could Jetty6 be removing the unjar'd war file prematurely?

I am running Jetty 6.1.3.

Thanks.
