NetBeans doesn't deploy to *webapps*. For a Tomcat root:
 =C2=A0 C:\Programs\Apache Software Foundation\apache-tomcat-11\
it will create an XML file in:
 =C2=A0 C:\Programs\Apache Software=20
Foundation\apache-tomcat-11\conf\Catalina\localhost\

The XML file contains something like:
 =C2=A0 Context ... docBase=3D"C:\project\project-webapp\target\project"

This allows hot reloading of your code (e.g. applying changes to method=20
bodies in your classes). AFAIK the war file is not used.

Cheers,
