This feature is not available in Tomcat 4.0.x, but *is* available in the
current nightly builds (what will become Tomcat 4.1). You are able to
create a "context configuration file" separately from server.xml, and it
can contain the contents of the <Context> element (and all the nested
sub-elements) for a particular web app.
Coupled with this are some enhancements to the way that the Manager webapp
works, so that you can dynamically deploy and undeploy context
configuration files (that point to your webapp anywhere you want), with
complete control over all of the things you can configure in server.xml
about that webapp. There's even some custom Ant tasks so you can add
automatic deployment, reloading, and undeployment to your build.xml files.

Try it, you'll like it :-).
