That depends on several factors including which version of WAS you've got. The normal process is to load your project into the studio version (WSAD for 5.1 and earlier, RAD for 6 and up) and use the studio to publish to the server. IBM has excellent resources on the web including DeveloperWorks, Red Books and InfoCenters where you can probably find more than you ever wanted to know about WAS.

Keep in mind that Tomcat is a reference implementation of the web container spec whereas WAS, WebLogic, JBoss, etc. are full J2EE containers, which introduces quite a bit of extra complexity. That's why they often have their own development tools.
