Is there a better way than stopping tomcat, removing the webapps folders, switching the new wars in, and restarting tomcat? To ensure that everything is properly refreshed.
Or is this just something (unpackWARs, etc) that should work fine and it's just something about our configuration/situation that's causing issues?
