How about a servlet? Is there a similar way to do this without editing web.xml? I suppose if there was something I could put into the jar that would automatically get an init method of some kind then I could in theory add my servlet url with java code. I noticed my Macro component didn't get instantiated/initialized until it was referenced. Are there other types of Components I should be aware of?
