Ok my last try since I think I'm not being clear enough =)
TC 3.x has this:
<!--
You can add a "home" attribute to represent the "base" for
all relative paths. If none is set, the TOMCAT_HOME property
will be used, and if not set "." will be used.
webapps/, work/ and logs/ will be relative to this ( unless
set explicitely to absolute paths ).
-->
<ContextManager debug="0" home="/home/rslifka/slifka-tomcat" showDebugInfo="
true">
...allowing me to use a single $TOMCAT_HOME/conf, /bin, etc. dir, but many instances
of /webapps, /work and /logs spread out wherever I like. If Catalina has this
something similar, then I'd like to make sure I document it in my "Running Multiple
Instances" doc =)
