Does Web Viewer modify or replace the webapps directory

Products

Issue/Introduction

You see contents of your webapps directory change after you just deployed Web Viewer. 

Environment

Web Viewer 14

Resolution

Web Viewer does not distribute a webapps directory.

The only directory regarding webapps is the tomcat webapps directory where the web-viewer.war file is deployed.

When the application web-viewer.war file is deployed Tomcat expands the web-viewer directory replacing the contents with the contents from the updated web-viewer.war file.
