Thank you all for your input! I do realize that our use case is somewhat odd, as we have multiple webapps that have shared resources and are related in that sense. For now, we should go for the duplication of resources (using Tomcat 7). However, the webAppMount option looks like a fair option to me, once we have migrated to Tomcat 8.
