Did you think of using maven? If you do so, you can use the "tomcat7-maven-plugin" and its goals "deploy" and "undeploy".

Here's an example pom.xml:

    4.0.0

    de.example
    0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
    dm-p0-servlet

    
        
            
                org.apache.tomcat.maven
                tomcat7-maven-plugin
                2.2
                
                    http://localhost:8080/manager/text
                    tomcat7-local
                    /miniservlet
                
                
                    
                        clean-undeploy
                        clean
                        
                            undeploy
                        
                    
                    
                        package-deploy
                        package
                        
                            deploy
                        
                    
                

            
        
    

    
        
            javax.servlet.jsp
            jsp-api
            2.2
            provided
        
        
            javax.servlet
            javax.servlet-api
            3.1.0
            provided
        

    

The element tomcat7-local refers to the section in ~/.m2/settings.xml, where the credentials for the Tomcat server authentication are stored:

    
        
            tomcat7-local
            adminScript
            geheim
        
    

The username "adminScript" and its password are defined in /conf/tomcat-users.xml .
