Is your war always deployed the the same location, ie "/usr/mycomp/ 
myapplication/webapps/myapp.war"?  If so then on startup copy the  
files out of your directory and put them under CATALINA_BASE/solr (usr/ 
mycomp/myapplication/solr) and in your war file have the META-INF/ 
context.xml JNDI setting point to that.

<Context>
    <Environment name="solr/home" type="java.lang.String" value="/usr/ 
mycomp/myapplication/solr" override="true" />
</Context>

If you know of a way to reference CATALINA_BASE in the context.xml  
that would make it easier.
