Doesn't work I'm afraid not after tomcat is restarted. If I try to deploy ROOT.war via the manager It just deletes the contents of the ROOT expanded directory minus the web-inf and meta-inf folders.
however if I stop tomcat manually delete ROOT.war and ROOT folder, start tomcat I can deploy a ROOT.war via the manager. but if there are any libs in WEB-inf or any files in META-INF I won't redeploy over this ROOT folder once tomcat is restarted. If there aren't any contents (appart from web.xml) in these directories it seems to be able to deploy over the root application. I put this down to the fact it can't delete libs as they are on the classpath of all other webapps (Including manager).
