Probably would just need to write a WarRepository which did this. Probably
would be fairly simple.

  Would be a nice way to go.

  ..to read files in the WAR file, you can use
getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("/directory/filename").

    any plans to support deployment of JPublish WARs to JBoss 3.x-Tomcat 4.x
    environments? (I believe this is an issue with Weblogic 6.x, 7.x also)

    The issue is, of course, that WARs are not unpacked when the server is
launched,
    and thereforethe JPublishServlet fails to initialize because it cannot
    read from config files under WEB-INF with the current implementation;

    String rootDir = getServletContext().getRealPath("/"); // returns null
    File contextRoot = new File(rootDir); // fails with NPE
