I think all you actually need is a context.xml file in Tomcat's $CATALINA_BASE/conf with a docBase pointing to your "war" folder, reloadable="true" to automatically reload your app whenever a class or resource changes, and possibly a Loader to load classes from outside WEB-INF/classes and WEB-INF/lib (use a VirtualWebappLoader then). Then you don't need to copy anything to Tomcat to deploy your app (just start it), or redeploy it (just save your *.java file, let your IDE recompile it and then Tomcat pick it up and reload the webapp automatically for you). See http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/context.html and http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/loader.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
