How can I specify at tomcat to reload files WAR automatically when it is started again (tomcat4 stop / tomcat4 start).

Well, it does reload the WAR structures.  The default for Tomcat is to 
expand the .war files it finds to a directory of the same name as the .war 
files (less the .war file extension) and deploy that.  You can do one of 
two things.  After stopping Tomcat, delete the directory and update the 
.war file.  Or, you can specify <Context path="/myapp" 
docBase="myapp.war">.  Notice the docBase points to a .war instead of a 
directory.  Now the directory won't get created by Tomcat and you only ever 
have to worry about updating the .war file.
