I second Larry's motion encouraging you to unit test. You can avoid the long build/deploy/webapp-init/login-to-app/browse/cause-error loop by testing after the build step. Eclipse and IntelliJ both have a button to run a JUnit test, so that's just a single 'Run as JUnit Test' step. And if you're using Emacs or gvim or pico, you should have an ant task called 'test' that takes a test name wildcard so you can do something like 'ant test -Dtest.src.include=com.foo.moo.CustomerTest*'.
It sounds like you're using Spring's WebApplicationContext via web.xml, so you'll need to init Spring for your tests another way. There are several different ways to do this, take a look at the JUnit and Spring docs for examples.
