You should not have to make any changes to policy files for this to work. It is Tomcat itself that is unpacking the WAR files--so assigning permissions to the WAR file itself won't do anything. What does your server.xml file look like? How did you determine that WAR files weren't automatically being unpacked? What error did you see?
