When Tomcat deploys your context ("webapp"), it merges the global
conf/web.xml and the application's WEB-INF/web.xml with the
application's configuration overriding anything in the global
configuration. Therefore, if you replace the "jsp" servlet
configuration in WEB-INF/web.xml, it will (a) work and (b) only affect
that single application.

You can also use <init-param> in WEB-INF/web.xml for the JSP servlet.
You will probably have to copy those settings you want from the JSP
configuration in conf/web.xml because I don't think Tomcat will merge
init-param between the two files.

Hope that helps,
