Aaron The problem is that the basic element in the system is the Webapp, and they're essentially a self-contained entity, so the web.xml wouldn't be the place to do this kind of thing as its not something a Webapp would do. So, I think you're stuck tweaking server.xml (which configure Tomcat, not the Webapp, per se), or moving the content into your Webapp. Of course, moving it all into your Webapp would make it portable outside of Tomcat, whereas tweaking server.xml may not be portable to another container (don't know whether that's important to you or not).
