XML lets you do stuff like that directly with entities.

In Tomcat 4.1.x, you can also separate out the <Context> element for each
context into a separate "context configuration file" that can be
independently deployed, which would seem a better long term solution.

If all else fails, you can write a simple script that combines all the
stuff you need from file fragments just before invoking the startup.
Sometimes the simple solutions are the best ...
