I can't for the life of me understand why this has to be so difficult. It seems a major flaw of tomcat not to be able to simply redeploy and activate an application from a war file. I have read many posts on the subject from the archives of this list and no one seems to have a definitive solution. The solution just seems to be "just use resin for development, it actually works right, then just deploy on tomcat." Since I have invested a great deal of time in tomcat, I wish not to give up this easily.
In short, what does it take to drop a war into the webapps directory, overwriting a previous war and get tomcat to recognize the timestamp is newer and reissue the files so that you can see the changes when you visit the application in the browser? I am tempted just to do my development directly inside the web container to avoid this issue all together, but that just doesn't seem to be the right way to go about things. Since this question comes up so often, maybe we can work out a full answer in this thread so that it doesn't have to be asked again.
