Tomcat change javascript file no need to restart server

Every time I make a change to a javascript file in my war/ directory I need to restart tomcat to be able to see a change. Is there a way to just reload the page without the need to restart tomcat for non-java code changes (JS/CSS/HTML/images)? I looked into the context.xml and doing:

<Context reloadable="true">

However, that didn't help. If I would need to set a WatchedResource, it would be all files in my war/assets/ directory. I'm not using Eclipse or an IDE and I'm on a Mac. Is there anyway to setup tomcat so I don't need to restart after every non-java code change?

there is a possibility to do something called AUTODEPLOYMENT so whenever you save your new changes the console will instantly inform you with a message: autodeployment successfull. Note that if you change something that needs compilation then rebuilding must be executed first.

When you made a change in javascript page there is no need to restart the server.Whenever you modify any thing which needa\s to compile then only you need to restart after recompilation.
