At least with tomcat, deployed though the manager's web-interface would be a 
third option.

That being said I wouldn't spend effort into solving this issue, if you 
simply rename the war
you can't have the context name be anything. Other software that distributes 
war's also names
their war's what ever they want and expect the user to rename it and I 
haven't seen anyone
complaining.
