Set <Context reloadable="true" />, Catalina to monitor classes in /WEB-INF/classes/ and /WEB-INF/lib for changes, and automatically reload the web application if a change is detected. This feature is very useful during application development. But not in production environment. See the reloadable doc.

Edit install_dir/conf/server.xml and add a DefaultContext subelement to the main Service element and supply true for the reload able attribute Add

 <DefaultContext reloadable="true"/>

before the

</host>

tag.
