Are you communicating with Tomcat through Apache or do your URLs refer
directory to Tomcat?

I don't know Tomcat configuration detail. But if it's for me, I'd set
up an infinite while loop in a main dispatching servlet, check an
external flag and change the greeting page accordingly.

Don't mean to keep asking questions but when you say you want to take
the service down do you mean the entire Tomcat service or just a
particular application deployed on Tomcat?
