It is possible to turn off auto-deploy (autoDeploy, deployOnStartup), i.e. the webapplication will be present in webapps folder, but it will not be running, nor will it be listed by Tomcat Manager. Deploying a webapplication, though, always starts it. If a webapplication is included as a <Context> element in server.xml (usually not recommended), it is always deployed and started when server starts, regardless of deployOnStartup option. Besides the documentation, you may also want to look at the archives of this list. deployOnStartup/autoDeploy were discussed several times.
