Lars,
Why don't you use .war files? They can be deployed in the webapps directory,
and will be extracted as Tomcat starts. You can find out how this works with
Ant in the docs ($TOMCAT_HOME\doc\appdev\index.html).
BTW: didn't you try to add a new directory to webapps/ ?? I added "bla" as
directory, and Tomcat adds "bla" as context:"ContextManager: Adding context
Ctx( /bla )". Is that what you want, or am I wrong?
Rgrds,
Klaas
