Yes.

It depends.

redeploy != reload and which you get depends on circumstances. I
strongly recommend that you read this page:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/automatic-deployment.html

There are a number of ways you could get the reload behaviour you want.

1. Use an external context.xml file. Updates to the WAR would then only
result in a reload.

2. Use parallel deployment

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/context.html#Parallel_deployment

HTH,
