You shouldn't have to do anything strange to get this working. Tomcat's
default configuration is to auto-deploy WARs and directories in the
webapps/ directory and also to re-load them if they change.

The only thing that can get out-of-sync is the Tomcat deployment
descriptor (context.xml) that gets copied from the WAR file (or
directory) into conf/[Service]/[Hostname]/[appname].xml. You will have
to undeploy/deploy (or just delete the file) in order to update it.

No, but it might be a good idea to completely shut-down Tomcat, delete
the entire "work" directory as well as an exploded WAR directories in
webapps/ and any files in conf/[Service]/[Host]. Then, start Tomcat
normally and everything should run smoothly from there on out.
