Tomcat has the ability to run what's known as an "exploded WAR". A WAR file is just a ZIP file in a specific format, so if you unzip it, you get a directory subtree.

In Tomcat 5, Tomcat always explodes a copy of the WAR into its webapps directory. In Tomcat5, that was optional. In either version, it was also OK to provide your own exploded WAR and set up a web application context using it.

By instructing the IDE to build into an exploded WAR format, you can get Tomcat to dynamically update webapps. I do this all the time, since it saves the time needed to build the WAR itself. Then, when I'm production-ready, I run the WAR task on the exploded WAR to create a deployable unit.
