Hi,
   
  I have been searching for a solution to this problem for a while, but it's difficult to search on when the keywords match so many general topics.
   
  In tomcat 5.5, I was able to use manager to deploy from a directory on the filesystem, and tomcat would use that directory for the source. It would not copy the contents of the directory to its webapps directory. I could stop tomcat, start it again and pick up changes in the class files of the app. This was very quick because no file copying was going on.
   
  In tomcat 6, it now copies all of the files to the webapps directory. I can no longer just stop and restart tomcat to pick up the changes in the class files because tomcat has its own copy. I have to undeploy and redeploy at minimum, and it takes quite some time and extra work on my part.
   
  Is there a way to configure tomcat 6 get the old tomcat 5.5 behavior back? Thanks for any help.
   
  Alice
