Why can't you set up a separate context for each student? In server.xml,
you could set the doc base in each context to the appropriate student's
directory.

Subject: Tomcat 4.0: Can webapps dir contain links?
Greetings,
I am trying to set up a Tomcat server to be used for some web development
classes. I would like to have each student have there own webapp, so that
in the webapp dir there would be a link to their public_html directory. In
Tomcat4B5, it seems as though tomcat will not follow a soft link to the
students home directory. If I make a new directory in webapps, it works
fine, but the link gives me a 403 application not available message.
If anyone has set up a system like this, I would greatly appreciate their
help
