You are not saying what Tomcat version you are using. It is possible to create wars for nested context. E.g. to separate scripts into myapp#js.war -> the root of this web application will be /myapp/js/ Note that all web applications are independent of each other, so you need to have separate web.xml for each of them, and you cannot access to code that belongs to another web application.
