This is due to how NetBeans deploys to Tomcat. NetBeans creates a
config.xml file and copies it to
%CATALINA_BASE%\conf\Catalina\localhost\appname.xml

Inside the appname.xml, there's a docBase that points to where you
built your application (for me it's ProjectName\target\artifact-id).

This then makes use of Tomcat's default configuration to trigger
reloads of your web application when certain resources are changed.

Here's a link on how that deployment works:

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/manager-howto.html

Look for Deploy using a Context configuration ".xml" file.

. . . just my two cents
