title: Deploy webapp manually with Tomcat (ie autoDeploy=false, noDeployOnStartup=false)
body: <p>I'm trying to deploy several web applications to tomcat 6.x, and I've turned off autoDeploy and onDeployStartup because I want to manually register these apps and map them to URLs not based on the names of their war files.</p>
  
  <p>I've put the following context file in $catalina.home/conf/Catalina/localhost:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Context path="" docBase="web-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war" debug="1"&gt;
  &lt;/Context&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I put the war file under $catalina.home/webapps, but when I startup tomcat nothing gets deployed.  I don't even see any error messages about the context files I created.  Or any print outs saying anything is wrong.</p>
  
  <p>What's the problem?  I've read the documents which outlines autodeploy a lot, but is very sketchy on details of how to do this outside of autodeploy.</p>
