Thanks for the reply.
I have started redeploying manually, as you suggested. This seems to be
working very well so far. A bit long winded but at least nothing has gone
wrong. Just incase it is of any use and may shine some light on the
original problem the details of the machine and set up with web.xml are
shown below.
Thanks again for you help.

Howdy,
It is difficult to help specifically, but here are a couple of general
notes that may be relevant:
1. Tomcat won't die (actually, the JVM won't die) if you've created any
non-daemon threads in your application. If you create such threads,
either set them as daemons or ensure their proper termination.
2. I suggest simplifying your deployment process, at least temporarily.
Don't use the manager to redeploy. Copy the war file manually each
time. Unless you have some special settings, don't enter a <Context>
element for your webapp in server.xml. Restart tomcat, ensuring it's
dead, between each deployment.
If you could post more details, including OS name and version, tomcat
version, JDK version, your web.xml file, we could probably help more.
