is there a reason why you can't have the directory under webapps? In order to do this you would need to write your own servlet that reads the file and writes to the output stream. You should let Tomcat serve the file when possible so that you don't have to implement all the http 1.1 features...
you can use a filter to control access to the static files. you could also add a soft link under webapps that points to the real file.
