I wrote a shell script that sets environment variables and then called
the tomcat start script. This works well. Then you just need to put it
in /etc/init.d/ and make the symbolic links from the appropriate run
levels.
You can make tomcat run as a non-root user, but only if you want to have
it listen on ports above 1024. It has to run as root to bind to port 80
and doesn't have the ability (like Apache) to change user after the
binding takes place.
You can do something like: su - www -c 'command'
to get it to run as a non-root user in a startup script (with GNU su at
least, I don't think the BSD version has the -c switch).

What is the easiest way to have tomcat startup at boottime running as user

Also, can we now use the non-manual auto-startup mode that worked with
ApacheJServ1.0? (Where Java starts up automagically)??
