Thanks for explaining this, Konstantin - I was wondering about this also.

Running tomcat 5.5.20.

Is there a way to configure tomcat such that it is aware of a webapp
(context),
but doesn't start it (process requests) when tomcat starts?
Kinda.  Examine the docs, look at the Host and Context attributes, for
'deployOnStartup', 'autoDeploy' and 'reloadable'.  Depending on what you
need it might be all-or-nothing situation though.

It is possible to turn off auto-deploy (autoDeploy, deployOnStartup),
i.e. the webapplication will be present in webapps folder, but it will
not be running, nor will it be listed by Tomcat Manager.

Deploying a webapplication, though, always starts it.

If a webapplication is included as a<Context>  element in server.xml
(usually not recommended), it is always deployed and started when
server starts, regardless of deployOnStartup option.

Besides the documentation, you may also want to look at the archives
of this list.  deployOnStartup/autoDeploy were discussed several
times.
