Loading standard web application

Hi all,

I am looking into allowing OFBiz to load standard web application where there is no controller.xml and the jar files residing in web-inf/lib folder.  

Proposing to add an attribute named 'type' to the 'webapp' tag at ofbiz-component.xml, i.e.

<webapp name="myapp"
        type="standard"  <--------------- new proposed attribute
        title="Myapp"
        server="myapp-server"
        location="webapp/myapp"
        mount-point="/myapp"/>

This new attribute will help to differentiate standard web applications from those in OFBiz, and allows Catalina Container to load them accordingly.
When type="standard", will load as standard web application.
When type is empty, load according to OFBiz way.

Any feedback is welcome.

Regards,
James Yong
