My pleasure. :)

Yup.

Nope.

Nope.

None yet. I'm still pretty new at this.

Where I work, we're using Mac OS X for development, and
the deploying on Debian systems that use the official
jakarta releases of Tomcat (rather than Debian .debs).

On my local system, I've got tomcat installed right in
my ~/opt. On the Debian systems, there's a "tomcat" or
"tomcat5" user, and we work as that user whenever dealing
with any of the webapps.

Regardless, all webapps are always right there in the
/path/to/tomcat/webapps.

We don't deploy .war files. We use an ant task to build
the .war's, but then:

- shutdown tomcat,
- copy the .war file to our webapps folder,
- unzip them in-place,
- delete the .war file, then
- restart tomcat.

Any useful info I get here will go into my little help
doc. This is a helpful bunch here, so hopefully we'll
get some more good tips. :)
