Automatic application deployment happens in whatever directory you specify
for the "appBase" attribute on your <Host> element.  This defaults to the
"webapps" directory in $CATALINA_HOME, but could really be anywhere.

If you don't want your applications deployed automatically, either put
them somewhere other than the "appBase" directory, or change the "appBase"
directory to point at an empty directory.
