Rather than reinventing wheels here, I think that fronting the conf/ directory with a WebDAV server would be a great way to go. I'm not familiar with the state-of-the-art of WebDAV servers these days but there might be something pretty trivial that can be configured in Tomcat to do this? Or maybe some servlet (or .war) that can be installed?
