Please point out areas where you had trouble with the docs, so we can
improve them!

The easiest way to accomplish this is probably to make it part of your
Ant script.  I know there is a copy task, and I'd be surprised if
there weren't Ant tasks for Tomcat.

Or you could have a separate process (cron job?) that watches for the
existence of xy.war and then does the copy and re-start.  (Or I
suppose you could have that as a separate "build" in Continuum.)
