IDP troubleshooting

[Doug Tomer]

Yes, I restarted Tomcat.  I don't know how to restart Tomcat while clearing
all of it's working state.  Can you tell me how to do that, or point me in
the right direction?  I'm also not sure if I am running with an unpacked
warfile.  I see the idp.war unpacked in /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/idp,
and /var/cache/tomcat6/work/Catalina/localhost/idp/org/apache/jsp, but
you're probably talking about something else, right?

I restored a snapshot of our shibboleth-idp prior to the yum updates and
confirmed it was working correctly, than applied all the yum updates
excluding tomcat6*, and the systems still works correctly, so I agree with
you that it's the updated Tomcat.  Any suggestions you can give me to help
troubleshoot the issue with this Tomcat upgrade would be greatly
appreciated.  I will also open a case with Red Hat.

Thanks again for your help.
