In linux, how to start tomcat where user is not "root"?

[sunbel]

Dear all,
When I use a user other than "root" to login linux, and start tomcat:

/usr/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1/bin/./tomcat.sh start

it shows many messages, and tomcat cannot properly started ( some JSP
example programs also cannot be run)

how can I start tomcat but not using "root" to login?

Thanks and regards
