Bug#570485: Trigger implentation to restart tomcat after a web application has been installed/upgraded

[Benoit GUERIN]

Hello,

I agree with the fact that it could problematic to interrupt other web apps
...

But, how do you "redeploy" a web app ? With my own experience, I sometimes
met some problems while upgrading a war or and unpacked web app while tomcat
was running (incorrect class loaded, mix between old and new jars, new files
unpacked but existing ones not being updated ...)

Cheers,
Benoit
