Yes, but it won't serve the files you want. It will most likely serve
an empty directory (or it should). Tomcat will ignore the docBase (or
it should).

You might be able to use a VirtualWebappLoader with the virtual class
path set to ${catalina.base}/logs, but I'm not sure if the
DefaultServlet will be able to use that. I've never tried it.

Or, you could just write some code to read and dump the file(s)
yourself. I would probably have specific log file names that are
recognized and served rather than allowing the remote user to just
specify a filename and let them poke-around looking for whatever files
your webapp is willing to serve. Just ask for ../conf/server.xml and
we've got a problem unless you're very careful about sanitizing inputs.
