Well, you are describing exactly what the "deploy" task is for.  If you are 
using this for development purposes, you should use the "install" task 
which doesn't persist the context after a Tomcat restart.  Instead, it just 
mounts the directory which is the root of your just built webapp as a 
running context in Tomcat.  It doesn't send any file anywhere and a simple 
stop of Tomcat or the "remove" task gets rid of all traces that your app 
was even running under Tomcat.  It is *much* more convenient for 
development purposes than "deploy/undeploy".
