I've experimented with several versions (3.2, 3.3, 4.0) of Tomcat and none of them have handled updating of application files with any grace. The documentation on this is pretty sparse so I've never been sure whether it's a bug or the intended behavior.
The only way to make sure things get re-deployed properly is to unpack the war file yourself and restart Tomcat. However, I think if you upload a new war file and delete the old unpacked directory, Tomcat will unpack the new war file on a restart.
