I know. I was replying to him. I mixed-up some pronouns in there, I'll
admit. But since I was replying to his message, I put his name at the
top of my reply.

Um, okay. I was just asking for more detail. You don't have to get
combative. If I'm not being helpful, ignore me. But I am trying to
give you free help, so maybe ... calm down a bit?

Yes I saw all of them. I just didn't feel it was necessary to re-post
your entire log file when a single example was sufficient. Anyone can
read the thread in their mail or news-reader, or look at the archives
to see the full log file if they choose. Re-posting the whole log
wouldn't have added anything.

I already answered that. The answer is "no". You can disable
auto-deploy and still use the Manager to do whatever you want. Note
that the Manager operations should be considered "manual", so they do
not conflict with any of the "auto" options.

I already answered that, too. The answer is "yes". The nasty
side-effect you can have is that your web application gets undeployed.
If you used a WAR file to deploy your webapp and you remove the WAR
file, Tomcat assumed you want to undeploy the webapp (you /did/ remove
the source) and so it will do that.

Yes, there is. It's clearly documented on the user guide under "Manager".

FYI you might want to upgrade Tomcat. Your version is nearly 2 years
old and there have been lots of improvements and security fixes (some
of them identified as "important").
