By experimenting from the shell copying files I can see what Tomcat is doing. I think that it deletes associated contexts whenever an application is undeployed by deleting the .war file.
I think you are right.  This drove me crazy for a while.  Eventually I
began keeping the .war files *out* of /webapps and I haven't seen this
problem for a while.  You'll need to add the docBase attribute to the
Context to point to such an "external" webapp.


(Using the 6x binary distro)

I have a webapp outside of tomcat/webapps and the context file
($tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/ROOT.xml) gets deleted if tomcat is
running and I delete the entire webapp directory.

So...

Turn off autoDeploy for the host. You might need to do a reload after copying the new file across.
