No -- the /war/WEB-INF/classes directory is .gitignored, and empty until we deploy, at which point we copy in the compiled .java files, etc. I suppose my core question is: if $CATALINA_HOME/work/Catalina/localhost/_/org/apache/jsp/tag/web/about_tag.class exists, what situations could cause

What I'm getting at is this: your release process should produce a .war (or exploded directory) that is copied to Tomcat and that Tomcat should not be reading any part of the app from the /war directory - a source controlled directory. Right: we produce an exploded directory which is then copied
