I've downloaded GeoServer 2.0.3 (war file version), expanded it manually, and copied the expanded files into a geoserver directory under an existing Tomcat's webapps directory, and everything appears to have worked perfectly. Kudos to the GeoServer folks for such an easy deployment.
I've played around with the layers a bit, and done some hand-tweaked experimentation with an .sld file. But I don't see the results of my edits (in an OpenLayers viewer) until I go into GeoServer admin, select the style, and click "Submit". Is there a way to get GeoServer to start using a changed .sld automatically?
