Hi,
Yes we do something just like that at our development company. We are using
Apache/Tomcat on Redhat Linux 6.2. You can do this my configuring Tomcat for
multiple JVMs or by using Virtual Hosting with multiple JVMs. (Each JVM does
carry a memory footprint/overhead though :-( ). You can find out to do this
at
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat/src/doc/tomcat-apache-howto.
html under the headings "Configuring Tomcat for multiple JVMs" and
"Configuring Virtual Hosting". I then used the wu_ftp to give each developer
ftp access to his own server.xml, web.xml, and webapps etc.
If you are using Windows NT, IIS or another webserver - it should also be
possible - but I don't know how.
Regards
Richard

Shouldn't it be possible to setup one version of Tomcat the hooks into
Apache and allows each user to execute their own servlets? This would
occur in each user public_html directory.
