Also I'm not sure whether you may want to do it, but configureme (https://configureme.dev.java.net) allows you to configure 200 instances of your app in one war file). You specify configurations for specific environments (and, most notably, configuraiton deltas), and set the environment in the installation itself (with one property in catalina.sh).
Actually, configureme was built to support configuration delta for multiple systems (live,test,integration,dev) of one application in one company but it will do your job also. If the application administrator on customers site wants to manage the config files himself, you can put the config files in a directory outside of tomcat installation and simply add this directory to the classpath. This way you can update the app without modifying the settings. regards Leon P.S. feel free to contact me off list, if you want to try it out and need help with it.
