I am using the Jenkins deploy plugin to deploy to Tomcat. The .war file that gets generated is named using the following format: MyApp##[version].[buildnumber].war
For example, the war file will be generated as: MyApp##alpha.13.war
The reason for the hashes in the filename is for Tomcat manager html page to list the version in the version column of the deployed applications. This way, we can double check which version is currently deployed to Tomcat.
Now when trying to deploy via Jenkins for a second time, the build number obviously increases. So the above war file will be generated with the file name: MyApp##alpha.14.war
This now fails with the below exception:

Can anyone assist with how to get Jenkins to re-deploy a war file to Tomcat using tomcats suggested naming convention (using hashes so specify the version) ?
