You probably can write your own war with a Servlet which start an ES node.

What is your use case ?

You can use the transport wares plugin which basically does the same:

> **[GitHub - elastic/elasticsearch-transport-wares: Servlet transport for...](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-transport-wares)**
>
> Servlet transport for Elasticsearch. Contribute to elastic/elasticsearch-transport-wares development by creating an account on GitHub.

Add the elasticsearch-transport-wares as dependency to your web  
project and you can configure the provided servlet in your web.xml  
file.
