SRV.9.1 of Servlet Spec 2.3 says: "A web application is rooted at a specific path within a web server. ... A servlet container can establish rules for automatic generation of web applications. For example, a ~user mapping could be used to map a web application based at /home/user/public_html/."
I note that this is a "can" and not a "must". Does any version of Tomcat support this? Specifically, the request is to have a bunch of students with webapps in their home directories and have Tomcat be able to "see" the webapps and execute them.
