When I have done this, I shutdown Tomcat, deleted the directory and restarted Tomcat again. This worked fine. But, I believe there is a way with the "Manager" app that you can do it, and I believe there is a setting in the server.xml that will enable automatic updates (at the expense of extra checking on every access to see if the file is new). So, I would search the Tomcat docs . . . .

If I update the war file 10 times, will re-copying the file to the webapps directory re-deploy the webapp?
