Immediately under a webapp directory is not an appropriate location for
class files - ever. They should go into
webapps/[appname]/WEB-INF/classes, as defined by the servlet spec.

Why? There's no reason to do so, if all you're doing is updating the
app. Restarting Tomcat requires running the shutdown and startup
scripts.
