ok, is there an easy way to require authentication to access a particular webapp, without modifying the war file?

Subject: security-constraint in conf/web.xml

Is it possible to move this config into the conf/web.xml instead?
I have tried this but the security-constraint affects other webapps.

Which is exactly what conf/web.xml is supposed to do - it provides settings for 
*all* webapps.  Why did you expect something different?

I've tried changing the url-pattern to "/MyApp/*" but that
doesn't work.

Also expected; why did you think it would?  Read the servlet spec; the webapp 
path is not part of the URL pattern for a security constraint.
