Moving (or renaming as Konstantin suggested) on a filesystem is faster than copying because only some filesystem metadata has to be changed. Reason for the error could be different Tomcat behavior in context.xml reading as Konstantin wrote. > Can you please elaborate regarding context descriptor file? You don't have to put your war files in the webapps directory another option is to put a context descriptor file in conf/Catalina/localhost which points to your war. A Simple example: All war files are in a designated directory /opt/mywars, Tomcat is installed in /opt/tomcat. You could deploy a webapp w1 (/mywars/w1.war), by putting a file named w1.xml in /opt/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost. The file should contain (at least) the following: <Context docBase="/opt/mywars/w1.war"/> You should check if your war contains a META-INF/context.xml with additional configuration, if yes put this in w1.xml as well. If you have a new war file version, put it under /opt/mywars/w1_v<new>.war and update the value of the docbase attribute in /opt/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/w1.xml. Tomcat will redeploy the app for you. Context path will be /w1... But I think the move or rename approach fits your needs for developement purposes and is a bit simpler.
