Changing DocumentRoot
After having noticed that embedded jsp statements *could* work
with my configuration where apache was serving http requests
while tomcat was only doing the servlets I want to switch to tomcat
as the sole webserver. At least here in a small intranet environment
I think I could afford. Don't know if tomcat can sustain heavy
load in Internet environment though and if it's fast enough
compared to apache.
Anyway, I figured out that I only had to change the port value of the
HttpConnection Handler from 8080 to 80.
But how can I change the DocumentRoot to point to /usr/locaol/www/data
(where my apache server had it's root) while maintaining the
servlets under $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps?
Simply creating a symbolic link in the filesystem of the server
wouldn't work, would it?

Ack, that should read *couldn't" have worked, of course.
