For the testing purposes I need to make Tomcat to respond with late http responses. It is quite clear how to do it for the servlet responses. But it is not clear if I want Tomcat to answer, say with 10000 ms delay for each static file request. How it can be configured?

If I read this write - you want to introduce a 10000 ms delay for any incoming request where you are serving a static resource.
The easy way to do this is via a servlet filter mapped to the default servlet.
For brevity ...
doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) { Thread.sleep(10000); chain.doFilter(request, response); } Then map the filter to the default servlet:
<filter-mapping> <filter-name>delayFilter</filter-name> <servlet-name>default</servlet-name> </filter-mapping>
