This "Automatic Application Deployment" section should also mention
the new liveDeploy flag.  This flag must be used in conjunction with
autoDeploy if the name of your web application directory differs from
the name of the Context where you mount your web app (when you want
_only_ the Context entries defined in server.xml to be deployed).

Consider the following layout:

$CATALINA_BASE/
  webapps/
    secretapp/

...with a server.xml like:

      <Host name="mysite.com" appBase="webapps" autoDeploy="false">
        ...
        <Context path="mycontext" docBase="secretapp" reloadable="true"/>
      </Host>

The initial startup occurs, and secretapp is mounted at "/mycontext".
After the initial startup, if I haven't included liveDeploy="false" in
my <Host> entry, Catalina's live deployment thread wanders over, spots
the "secretapp" directory under my Host's appBase, and decides to load
it as another web app (even though it has already been loaded and
mounted at "/mycontext").  Wasted resources aside, this can be painful
(example: consider the case where your web app's servlets open TCP
listener sockets).

Definitely worth mentioning in the doc, and perhaps protecting against
in some fashion in the code (if possible).
