Duplicating source code, certainly not.  Duplicating within multiple
wars, absolutely I would.  You're causing yourself a whole lot of
headaches by trying to mimic your source structure in your packaging.
Many, many have gone down that path before you, with no benefit but
increased frustration and complexity for all involved.

It has nothing to do with Tomcat, but everything to do with application
independence.

When the webapp is first referenced, which could be a lifecyle listener,
a load-on-startup setting, or the first client request to the webapp.

Don't know, because it's not really an interesting question.

The webapp classloader.
