You are looking for "resources"[1] (not to be confused with
"resources"[2] or "JNDI resources"[3]).

You want to use <PreResources> or <PostResources> inside <Resources>
inside your <Context> element in META-INF/context.xml.

In general, I'd recommend using <PostResources> for non-code files,
because you don't want a user to be able to upload a file which then
takes precedence over a file or library that comes with your application
.

Note that resources are *cached by default*, so if you have dynamic
changes to the filesystem (e.g. file-uploads, separate processed
making changes to the fs, etc.) then you'll want to disable that.

Hope that helps,
- -chris
