Sorry Jake, I do not understand your suggestion.
In my manager/html there is no "tag" field in the deployment form.


Jeanfrancois link to the 5.0 documentation gave me the hint to
put the autoDeploy="true" to the server.xml :
   <Host appBase="webapps" name="myhost.mydomain" autoDeploy="true">
                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So now, when I copy my app.war to $CATALINA_HOME/webapps tomcat removes the
corresponding directory app and redeploys the new app.war.
