Have you tried pointing tomcat to expect the exploded 
war in a folder that is a sibling to the jar file?

If you did this and then added logic to extract and 
explode the war to that folder as the first activity
 in your main class (using java's zip libraries) then forward 
on execution to tomcat, perhaps it would pick 
up the war?
