No, there is no way to do this.  The web.xml deployment descriptor format
is portable to all servlet containers, and the separation of configuration
information lets you modify the details of the data source configuration
*without* modifying the web application itself.

If you are dead set on configuring data sources inside your web.xml file,
you should investigate using a connection pool that is configured based on
servlet connection properties.
