Marc, Yep, think you're right. My fault for not paying closer attention to your version.
Other options that come to mind... - fetch one of the URL's for your application, check for a 404 status - connect via JMX, look at "Catalina:type=Deployer,host=localhost" (substitute your host name for localhost). That object exposes a "isDeploy" operation which will show a true / false value indicating if the app is deployed.
