Using context file for Tomcat instead of copying the webapp

Hi Lenya devs,

I wonder if it makes sense to recommend a context file
in $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost instead of copying the
web application to $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps.

This would also make the build process easier since we wouldn't
have to distinguish between the Jetty and Tomcat deployments.

WDYT?

not sure i understand all implications, but it does sound very intriguing.

we recently introduced this within Yanel in order to simplify automatic 
updates,
but we still copy it into Tomcat in order to differentiate between the 
various cluster nodes

I guess it would also speed up the build process, because it wouldn't 
have to be copied anymore.
