Is there a straightforward way to toggle or add something in Tomcat, in

would receive the same single notification page saying as much, for any
and
all requests.
Tomcat 7.0.42
What would respond to the user's request if the web app they asked for is
down? All you are going to get is a not found error which will be handled
by your ROOT web application.
I wonder if parallel deployment is an option for you? Maybe someone else
will have a better idea.
webapp#1.war could be your notice web app, while webapp#2.war could be
your normal site.
Deleting webapp#2.war would make requests fall back to your web app that
notifies the user the site is down.
Redeploying an updated webapp#2 would then override the the other one.
Redeeming myself....
Use two # symbols. webapp.war would be an earlier version of webapp##1.war
Read this:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/context.html#Parallel_deployment
I was going to suggest to replace the normal myApp.war by one named similarly, but
returning a "on maintenance" page.
But the solution above is cleverer.
Bonus points.
