Depends on the settings but if you can express them as resources, define defaults in META-INF/context.xml which will get extracted to $CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/contextpath.xml which the customers can then edit or replace with another file you give them. Subsequent updates of the war will not overwrite the extracted context.xml file (although an undeploy of the context will remove it).
