The manager app in Tomcat5 now allows for a "tag" to be associated with the war you deploy. You can use this from the ant manager tasks as well. You can deploy an app and deploy the same app (different version) again with a different tag. The old one will be undeployed and the new one will go in. If you want to switch back, just specify the tag of an existing deployed version.

What is the common way to install a new version of a war file ?
My experience is, that I have to stop tomcat, delete the .../webapps/app_dir copy a new app_dir.war to .../webapps and start tomcat.
But this is not appropriate on a production system.
I do not want to restart tomcat.
What will be a better solution ?
