Context Goals

 The plugin provides goals to perform various tasks upon your project's context
 once deployed within Tomcat:

 * {{{#Redeploying a WAR project}Redeploying a WAR project}}

 * {{{#Undeploying a WAR project}Undeploying a WAR project}}

 * {{{#Starting a WAR project}Starting a WAR project}}

 * {{{#Stopping a WAR project}Stopping a WAR project}}

 * {{{#Listing session statistics}Listing session statistics}}

 []

 These are described in more detail below.

* {Redeploying a WAR project}

 The goals required to redeploy a WAR project depend upon how it was deployed:

+--
mvn war:exploded tomcat6/7:redeploy
+--

 * To redeploy a WAR project deployed by <<<tomcat:inplace>>> you can type:

+--
mvn war:inplace tomcat6/7:redeploy
+--

 * To redeploy a context.xml file deployed by <<<tomcat:deploy>>> you can type:

+--
mvn tomcat6/7:redeploy

 may also need to call <<<war:exploded>>> or <<<war:inplace>>> as above.
