Ouch. Really?

That shouldn't be too hard: just write a new WAR to a temporary location
containing all the old files plus the new one, then copy the new WAR
file over the old one. The servlet context will re-load, so you may want
to think about whether you want to do that or not.

I wouldn't recommend this course of action.

Why not just change the URL to something that points to another
location, rather than pointing into the WAR file (or, rather, the webapp
itself)?

Sure it is: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/index.html then
click on "Tomcat Javadocs". It will take you here:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/catalina/docs/api/index.html

You won't use the Tomcat API for any of this: it's straight Java API
stuff (except for maybe figuring out where your WAR file really is in
order to replace it).
