Along those same lines, what's the recommended approach for sharing one
installation of tomcat with multiple users?
Should they each create their own server.xml and set the "home"
attribute of the ContextManager to a location beneath their home
directory, specifying the -f option to bin/startup.sh?
What should the directory structure of that location be? Any more than
"conf", "webapps", "logs"?
Should each user's TOMCAT_HOME refer to the shared installation
directory or their private workspace?
I tried answering "yes" to most of the above, and never could get the
log files to show up. And I was surprised that the necessary
directories (conf, logs, etc) weren't automatically created in the
ContextManager's home. I came to the unfortunate conclusion that tomcat
works best when each user installs tomcat in his home directory. :-(
Anyone had better luck than me?
