Not needed and way more work than necessary.

And it's what you should do. <url-pattern> elements in a webapp's
WEB-INF/web.xml override the ones in the global conf/web.xml, so put the
following in /path_to_some_dir/WEB-INF/web.xml:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>localDefault</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>debug</param-name>
<param-value>0</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>listings</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>localDefault</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
