How to deploy the self built alfresco.war ???

[jian]

I retrieved the most recent source, and built the alfresco.war successfully. But I'm having problem to use the self built alfresco.war.

First I followed the instruction on "Alfresco SVN Development Environment", I can't start alfresco. The tomcat log said:

Bootstrap failed.

Then I tried to use the self built alfresco.war to replace the working alfresco.war from 1.4 community bin distribution, but got the same problem and error.

Where is the problem?
Thanks,
Jian

Do you see an alfresco.log file?

If so, can you post the stack trace you find in there?

It may be that your alf_data directory and database is out of sync.

Try removing your alf_data folder and re-creating your database and starting  Tomcat again.

I used to update both in alfresco.war AND webapps/alfresco, because my Alfresco have some customized setting in there. I don't want it to be extracted again. It shouldn't be your case. Just FYI.
