> But tomcat unpacks the war file when it deploys

To reiterate what Chad said - if Tomcat is doing that then you are not running a standard install.  This means that you are going to
get bitten by the pessimizations in Tomcat which mean that changes (particularly to jsp files) do not get reflected to the
application (AKA Tomcat caching sucks).

Use a deployment fragment - it really does make life easier.  Otherwise shutdown Tomcat, find out _everywhere_ that Tomcat may be
caching stuff and delete it all.
