No, that is the whole point of auto-deploy...you can deploy when Tomcat is running. There are various ways to do this, as outlined in the docs, not to mention the Tomcat manager application.
As I read the docs, if you have a directory within appBase that has a valid directory structure (WEB-INF, WEB-INF/web.xml, etc.) then that Context will be available to Tomcat without restarting.
If I'm wrong, someone please correct me. If I'm right, and it isn't working (but "isn't working" is verified), then you should file a bug.
Lately, I've been using WAR files, and they deploy just fine without restarting Tomcat. YMMV.

Ok. When I restart the tomcat server, it will deploy an empty directory And it will deploy contexts that do not have a web.xml file
Is this a definate need for the autodeploy function to work?
I know my version of tomcat has the autodeploy, since it has its value set in conf/server.xml, so that can't be it
Does there need to be an entry for this new context in the server.xml for the autodeploy function to work?

There should be one, as explained in the docs.

There's no web.xml file?

I created a directory in webapps
webapps/portal
This directory contains some jsp's
There is also webapp/portal/WEB-INF directory ( empty )
All files and directories in this "context" are owned by the tomcat user ( same as the other contexts this tomcat server is running )
Should that work or not?

What do you mean, exactly, by "I placed a context directory into webapps". You just created the directory? Is there a valid structure there (WEB-INF, etc)?

autodeploy=true ( the default ) I placed a context directory into webapps and it is not autodeploying Does it only auto deploy if the context is packed as .war?

How would I go about loading a new context so that it is live, without restarting the tomcat server?
