Finding resource from other WAR

I was wondring if any of you Enterprise gurus could help me out here?

Basically, I'm working on a portal where clicking on specific links attempts to launch Java Web Start. A URL is constructed like: [tt]Launch?app=xyz[/tt] which is passed to a single servlet in a centralised WAR. The servlet reads in the xyz, and looks for a path defined in its deployment descriptor, where a JNLP file resides.

However, these JNLP files have now come under the control of the various end applications, so I need some mechanism to use my central deployment descriptor to search for a JNLP contained in a separate WAR? Is there a way of temporarily overriding the servletContext from which the JNLP resource gets retrieved?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Neil
