It's more like asking a parent to pull the rug, but, yes, that's
basically what you're doing.

When undeploying a webapp, no new requests will be sent to it, all
currently-processing requests are allowed to complete, and then a whole
series of things happen to take the webapp out of service. Consider
reading all of SRV.10 of the servlet specification. It's quite readable
(not legalese or mathematical proofs or anything) and gives you a lot of
good information.
