What I'm trying to do is a slightly strange. Let me see if I can explain it a
different way.
I'd like to be able to use Tomcat's auto deploy feature of the manager to
simply copy the war into the webapps directory, and have the context come up
correctly with its solr home set appropriate to its deploy-time name. Something
like this:
$ cp solr-master.war ${CATALINA_HOME}/webapps/solr-001.war
$ cp solr-master.war ${CATALINA_HOME}/webapps/solr-002.war
and then have access to
http://localhost:8080/solr-001/
http://localhost:8080/solr-002/
Essentially, I might not have access to ant at deploy time, nor have the
ability to change the master war itself. This means that I won't be able to
change the context.xml or the web.xml files, since they will already be
packaged inside the war archive. So, is there some way to generic-ify the
context fragment?

Ooh! I love these things.

How about:
ant -Dcontext-name=app-01 deploy
ant -Dcontext-name=app-02 deploy

Then you can just use:
<Environment
name="solr/home"
type="java.lang.String"
value="webapps/${context-name}/solr/"
override="true" />
Make sure that you turn on the appropriate filter when copying (or
generating) your context.xml file so that ${context-name} gets expanded.

Using web.xml might be a little bit more platform-neutral. The strategy
would be the same.

Really? How do you deploy a WAR file without a context.xml file? Or, do
you not need Tomcat to provide anything specific like a JNDI data source?

No, but you can just change the way you think about the variable and
alter your scripts accordingly.
