That won't work, because the web.xml won't be read if the application is disabled. I can think of a couple options (others may know better).
1. Add static web pages to domainX/docroot to match your application's URL. For instance, there's already an index.html page there that's shown if no app is deployed with context root set to /. But if you deploy an app to /, it takes precedence over the static content.
2. Set a default module for the virtual server in your config/Virtual Servers panel in admin console. You can set this to some small web app you deploy that just contains a maintenance page. Then disable the original application. When it's time to enable the app again, you may have to set this default module to blank first.
Cheers,
Bobby
