Well, what comes to mind is in your web.xml:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>myapp-default</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<!-- My specialized init params here -->
</init-params>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>myapp-default</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
This has the downside of loading DefaultServlet twice for each app, but that
shouldn't be too bad in most cases.
