I didn't know that you could do that for parallel deployment!

A quick follow-up set of questions:

Up until now I was counting on manager and tomcat's unpackWAR handling the
nuts and bolts of the deploy process. Even though the warfile is named
yourWar-00002.war, if I allow tomcat to unpack the war, it will unpack it
as yourWar##00002 in webapps (taking its cue from the .xml file name).

I can specify an already unpacked war outside of the standard deployment
path for docBase and it indeed does work.

I understand the close relationship of context name, context path, context
version and the base file name (the name minus any .war or .xml extension)
of the xml file. It was fine up until now.

But now, if I have to break convention and manage getting the war uploaded
and unpacked along with the per-app-version xml file all by myself without
any help from tomcat, what are some best practices or pitfalls to avoid? It
seems too easy and that's always when, in the movies, the trap gets sprung.
