scratchdir fails for multi-user installs
----------------------------------------

         Key: JBWEB-16
         URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBWEB-16
     Project: JBoss Web
        Type: Bug
  Components: Tomcat  
    Versions:  JBossWeb-4.0.1    
    Reporter: Norman Richards
 Assigned to: Remy Maucherat 


The setup was the basic multi-user scenario described in the dev environment 
admin training slides (module 8).   Each user has his own data/tmp/deploy 
directory, but the conf directory is shared between all users and not writable.

This produces a a FATAL log message:

11:37:06,717 FATAL [EmbeddedServletOptions] The scratchDir you specified:
/private/tmp/jboss-4.0.2/server/test/work/jboss.web/localhost/jmx-console is 
unusable.

This also causes exceptions when the server shuts down.

The jboss.web directory should probably go under the data or tmp directory so 
that it can exist on a per-user basis.  Another option is to allow variable 
substitution in the server.xml file so that the scratchdir can be set based on 
the $[user.name} property. 

See the admin module 8, slides 5-16 for the complete configuration if my 
description isn't clear.
