Not sure that will work. I may be wrong.
ofbiz works as one application.
application in the hot deploy are not exposed to tomcat directly but are
part of ofbiz.

I am not clear on your focus.
the original statement was that you wanted to have others use your services.
All that I read on the crossdomain.xml says
1) it is for flash applications to access the website
2) it is not aware of services in ofbiz.

to my knowledge, as limited as it is, says the crossdomain.xml will not
effect exporting ofbiz services used by the service engine.

you may want to investigate further, or I have a lot of reading todo and
would appreciated some links.

I am afraid this is not correct. Every application (containing a
web.xml) is a stand alone application. And to serve the contents from
root context create a ROOT application (i.e. mount the application as
ROOT). Web resources in this application will be served from root context.

Other option is to use Apache Web server fronting the Ofbiz and you can
configure a directory as DocumentRoot in Apache. To access the Ofbiz
application you can use mod_ajp_proxy or mod_jk.

Thanks,

Raj

I think the important distinction here is what is Web resources.
and the services from the service engine are not exposed as web
resources by using the crossdomain.xml.
I believe that was the original statement.
