This answer is for Jetty and for a slightly different situation, but you might find it useful anyway.

On a previous project we used Jetty, so I wrote a simple Jetty deployer module that would periodically scan the maven repository and download and deploy new artifacts as soon as they became available. This ran well on a small cluster of staging and development machines.

You can find the code at Google Code in the Polar Rose Jetty Maven Deployer project.

Note that we only did this for development and staging servers. In my opinion production apps should never ever be upgraded automatically.
