Loading War file

When loading a War file in our Tomcat 4.1.3 on Windows Server, the first time it takes the war and creates the specific webapp folder and I dont have to stop and start the container. If I want to put in a newer war for the same web app it requires me to stop and start the web container. Even if I delete the old war and put in a new one I still have to stop and start the web container. Anyway to change it so everytime I put in a new version of the war file it will automatically update my webapp folder?

See the "liveDeploy" attribute

Thanks it works.

I now have it set up in my Developer environment.I read where it shouldnt be set up like that in Production environment.

Please advise why liveDeploy should not be set up in Production environment?
