Ok, you are right. Sorry, I did misread it. In fact, I think I read part of it and then assumed the rest.
Anyway, there is a way to do this. You can set up a <context-param> with some default. The server should be able to override this default. In Tomcat, that means nesting <Parameter> elements inside the <Context> element for your webapp. See documentation here...
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/context.html#Context%20Parameters
You can see examples of this in the "examples" webapp config in the server.xml.
So, you can set whatever default and the server admin can override that default without ever touching your .war file.

This allows me to locate files which are already in the webapp, but AFAICS doesn't do anything to let me write the application's data files, or even a resource giving the path of the data file, to the archive. Also, ServletContext.getResourcePaths is a Servlets 2.3 feature, and so far I've been working with a codebase that only requires 2.2.
