RE: directory structure
If you're referring to during the development phase Yes, during the development phase. the IDEs I've worked with such as NetBeans and Eclipse does it for you automatically. I don't remember if NetBeans actually make a war or not but it does autodeploy. Eclipse will auto synchronize and sometimes it will auto-redeploy the app or restart TC depending on what was changed. What IDE are you using? Hmm... I tend to use Eclipse primarily as a Java-aware text editor (control-click to get to a declaration is invaluable), but my build is done using ant. My old solution was to simply do all of my development inside the tomcat webapps directory. This worked all right, except that it was incredibly ugly and caused bizarre problems from time to time (e.g., when allowing tomcat to autoload altered classes). I'm trying to get everything set up right. The only way I can see to do it is to play weird tricks with symbolic links, but this seems like a bad solution.

Currently, when I build a project for testing, it compiles the Java source, bundles everything into a .war, inserts it into the Tomcat webapps directory, and expands it. However, in order to make a small change to a jsp file, css file, etc., I have to go through the entire build process again. I'd like to be able to set up a system in which I can make a change to a css file (or whatever) and see the change after reloading the page - i.e., without having to run another build.

What IDE are you using? If you're referring to production, isn't a bit a dangerous/risky to be doing changes as you mention?

I have one very graphics-intensive site in production and see no responsiveness issues. Would it change the argument if I was hosting multiple, independent, disparate virtual hosts? No; fronting with Apache httpd is even more of a PITA in that case. Would the fact I was using a second IP make a difference in the ease of configuration and/or maintenance? The second IP approach is only suggested if you *need* httpd for some non-Java applications. Keeping them totally separate from your Tomcat installation seems a lot easier (more maintainable) to me.

Re: Directory Structure and Can't Find Resources in Tomcat
I would suggest you to install and work with Netbeans 5.0. Netbeans 5.0
have bundled Tomcat which work out of the box. Than you will not have
problems like these before deployment.
