For the Tomcat 4.0.x branch, this is not currently possible.
For the HEAD branch, you've got a couple of different options:
* Besides being able to deploy a WAR or a directory containing a webapp,
this version also lets you deploy a "context configuration file", which
is an XML file that contains just a <Context> element and the nested
elements for a single webapp. This lets you dynamically add an app
that needs resource references, then undeploy it and redeploy it if
those references need to change, without restarting Tomcat.
(For Ant users, there are even some nice custom Ant tasks that
interact with the Manager webapp's deployment capabilities.)
* In the server.xml file, there is the notion of "Global JNDI Resources"
that can be shared across multiple webapps. In a <Context> element,
you use a <ResourceLink> that links your resource reference to one of
the global resource definitions, instead of defining it yourself.
Currently, you can not add global resources dynamically, but that is
definitely in the plans for the admin webapp.
