Here is what I typically do. 1. Stop Tomcat.
2. Manually explode soap.war into $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/soap. I do it manually even though Tomcat will do the same thing if soap.war is placed in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps, because I also add/change files in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/soap/WEB-INF/[classes|lib], which is not supported on all servlet containers when you let them explode the .war for you. 3. Put my service classes and jars into $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/soap/WEB-INF/[classes|lib]. 4. Start Tomcat. 5. Deploy services.
