You have a couple of things to investigate to see how to best do this for your
application.
First:
Check out using initArgs or a config file to pass the document root for your servlets
You don't say whether you want a different document root depending on
Second:
Check out using a <base> tag in conjunction with url rewriting to achieve your ends.
You could either have a fixed document root for your servlet or a variable document
root depending on the variable things you can
pass to a servlet (alias, query string, form fields, extra path info etc)
