Well, theoretically you would create a directory with a WEB-INF/web.xml file in it, then go to the JMX adapter (port 8082), follow the link to the J2eeDeployer, then invoke the operation 'deploy' with the full URL of your context. You could then add servlets/pages at will.
Unfortunately, when I try this (with PRE-2.1) I get the message:
> The MBean [J2EE:service=J2eeDeployer] throws an MBeanException when calling [deploy]:
> org.jboss.deployment.J2eeDeploymentException: Currently are only packed web.war archives supported.
So I guess you can't do it.
Your other option might be to create a WAR file with nothing in it except WEB-INF/web.xml and deploy that. JBoss will unpack it into tmp/deploy/* (by default) and then you could add stuff there. Bit ugly, though, and won't survive a re-deploy or server restart.

Subject: [jBoss-User] Adding embeded tomcat contexts with JMX
What are the different ways to add tomcat contexts (when using embedded
tomcat) and where to I find documentation about *how* to do it?
I'm using embedded tomcat with jboss and want to add a context that allows
"normal" tomcat operation of .jsp and html files--I just want to specify a
directory where I can drop html and jsp pages. I'm sure I'll adding servlet
contexts will be important soon also.
It looks like this can only be done through JMX since the server.xml file is
by-passed. How are contexts added through jmx? Is there an xml file to edit?
I saw some interesting pages when surfing the jmx port (8082 I think) but
have no idea how to add a context there.
