Is there a way to move this action out of webapplication deployment so that my web application is available quickly?

Nothing out of the box AFAICT. I solved this some time ago using a
separate handler that answers incoming requests while the real app
context starts up in a separate thread. When the real context is ready
the temporary handler is deregistered.

See my demo code here
