This makes sense somehow, but wouldn't a local move or copy from

the server's filesystem have the same complications?
No, a local mv or rename in a modern file system simply changes the 
directory structure;
no copy is performed.  A copy does stand a chance of being caught in 
the middle, but the
timing window is much, much smaller.  Best to use mv/rename whenever 
possible.

So 'touch' a .LCK file in a  place outside webapps, copy over the 
file, when copy done

remove the .LCK file.
  On the server a background process is running watching for the .LCK 
file. when it's

gone, it does the 'mv'.
(a mv can imply a copy though when it goes across filesystems on 
different drives).




Would it not be simpler to just rename the .war file, to .war.lck, 
then copy it to the destination, then rename it (in place) to .war 
when the copy is finished ?

Tomcat should not even consider .war.lck files, right ?


Ah, yes, forgot about that, that Tomcat wouldn't eat anything that's 
being thrown at it :)

This makes sense somehow, but wouldn't a local move or copy from within 
the server's filesystem
have the same complications? In other words: would a tomcat stop/start 
be required in any situation to be on the safe side?

Subject: war file incompletely deployed
I started developing a webapp (Windows 7, tomcat 7/x64). I generate a
WAR file using eclipse/maven. Once built I copy over the war file
to a network share on the tomcat server. The share is the tomcat webapps
directory.
Once done tomcat autodeploys the .war file into the webapps subdirectory
with the name of the war file (without extension).

Copying over a network link to the final deployment location can be 
problematic.  Tomcat's auto-deployment may see a partially written file and 
initiate deployment prematurely.  Best if you can copy the file to a temporary 
location on the target server and then mv or rename it to the desired spot.
