Team City: Cannot Redeploy to Tomcat7

I have a build configuration that uses the Team City deployer plugin. I'm using a container deploy to deploy the war file to Tomcat.7.0.63 installed as a service on a Windows Server 2012 R2 box. The first time I run the the build, the artifact (a war file_ deploys successfully. The second time, and all subsequent runs, the deploy fails.

The error message:

Build failure message received: org.codehaus.cargo.container.ContainerException: Failed to undeploy

The log file error:

Caused by: org.codehaus.cargo.container.tomcat.internal.TomcatManagerException: FAIL - Unable to delete

When I go to the webapps folder on the remote server, the war file is deleted, but the expanded folder is only partially deleted. Most files are gone, except for a png file. I am not able to manually delete the folder because Tomcat still has a lock on it. If I restart tomcat, I'm then able to run the build successfully (war file deploys).

One thought I had was to restart Tomcat before or after each deploy. How would I restart Tomcat from TeamCity? Or perhaps, does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this problem?

You can configure the Tomcat Context using the antiResourceLocking option, as detailed further in the online documentation. This does come with some trade-offs however; definitely worth reading the documentation in full and evaluating if it's a suitable option for your application.
