title: Apache-tomcat-8.5.29 overrides the content of the exploded folder?
body: <p>I am doing an upgrade from older version of tomcat to 8.5.29<br />
  I have a tomcat server with WAR file and exploded folder</p>
  <p>tomcat8/webapps/xerox.war <strong>and</strong> tomcat8/webapps/xerox</p>
  <p>The exploded folder contains patches that doesn't exist in the WAR<br />
  I would like tomcat to use only  the exploded folder and ignore the WAR file.</p>
  <p>So in server.xml, on the Host section I set the unpackWARs to true, and autoDeploy to false,<br />
  It seems like its not working ok, and stuff in the exploded folder gets overridden / deleted after restart.</p>
  <pre><code>  &lt;Host name=&quot;localhost&quot;  appBase=&quot;webapps&quot;
          unpackWARs=&quot;true&quot; autoDeploy=&quot;false&quot;&gt;
  </code></pre>
  <p>What am I doing wrong?</p>
