Thank you so much Chuck, that works perfectly (interestingly each 'touch' still only instigates the "Undeploy" log in catalina.out, but the application does now redeploy seamlessly).
Out of curiosity, is using a separate Context XML file the best way of providing server-specific configuration to a tomcat web application? Not using the standard webapps folder directly seems like bit of a work-around. Although it looks like I'm now all set with this method, was I approaching this config provision in the right way to start with?
