Sorry, but deployment on Tomcat is really weird. I've made several web project 
and tried to deploy them on tomcat.
Usually the've deployed in context path "/", so only ONE at a time was 
acessible. Sometimes some project deployed even under its name, so sometimes it 
even work as it should.
I'm just curious, why this Tomcat plugin doesn't behave like a Glassfish one, 
where I can deploy any number of web applications and all of them are visible 
and accessible in the tree?!

I've just tested it and everything seems to work just fine. The application is
even correctly listed without the need of calling the refresh action.

From you description it is not very clear what is the exact problem, see the
Tomcat server log whether there is no problem with your application.

Please note that on Tomcat there cannot be two application with the same context
path deployed at the same time. If you try to deploy an application to a context
path, which is already occupied on the server, NetBeans undeploys the old
application for you before deploying the new one.

Please do not reopen this issue, unless you are really sure that there is a bug
and you have exact steps to reproduce it.

Ok, I won't, but could you tell me at least, why isn't possible to intentionally 
deploy web application on other path than on "/"?
Thing, that erver cannot deploy 2 applications on same path, id evident even for 
me.

I'm working with build 200605030200(beta) and jdk1.5.06fcs

Open the project properties dialog, select the "Run" category and set the
desired context path your application should be deployed to.

You can do this also directly in the context.xml file.

Thanks for a hint, as I've found discrepancy between web projects created on 
different servers ;-)
