Hi Ed, I'm not sure, what your question is. Let me try to answer like this: Tomcat will look for class files and jars in the various classes and libs directories. Read pathto/tomcat-doc/class- loader-howto.html to know exactly.
You can have your application's directory anywhere, if you configure a context in server.xml. If you put it under webapps you don't have to configure a context. For deploying your app it's probably the best to use Ant. Read the app developer's guide (pathto/tomcat-doc/appdev/index.html) to get to know best practices of the development process. In case Tomcat complains about JAVA_HOME: In autoexec.bat it might be better to set the DOS 8.3 pathname. Go to e: and type dir to get to know the 8.3 name of jsdk1.4.0. (Something with ~) Hope this helps.
