Auto-redeployment for a default web application

["K. Chi Bui" <kchi.bui (at) dot.com.au>]

I've tried using ROOT.war. Again, it is deployed fine on Tomcat startup. 
But it is not redeployed when u update the ROOT.war in either docBase 
and appBase directories.

One interesting thing here is Apache suggests that we should not have 
docBase underneath appBase (or pointing these attributes to the same 
folder). I have my WARs in docBase. But I want them to be 
auto-redeployed. So sometime when tomcat is running, I have to put these 
new WAR files to the appBase folder to be detected. This is not good 
because the packed war files are mixed with the unpacked folders. Even 
this, there is a problem of redeploying after u change the name of the 
war file.

You know what stops tomcat from redeploying even you update the WAR file?

Is there anyway that we can tell Tomcat to redeploy when something is 
changed in a folder other than what specified in the appBase attribute 
(e.g. docBase folder)?

Regards.
