How to purge tomcat's cache when deploying a new .war file? Is there a config setting?

Question

I have a simple hello, world servlet application that I am just playing around with, and pushing it out to my tomcat server on a VPS.

When I make a change to my code

Answer 1

A little late for the party, here's how I do it

1. Undeploy application from manager
2. Shutdown tomcat using ./shutdown.sh
3. Delete browser cache
4. Delete the application from webapps, and from /work/Catalina/...
5. Startup tomcat using ./startup.sh
6. Copy the new version of the application into /webapps and start it.
