You could set up a virtual <Host> for each user, thereby giving each one
his/her own appBase.  This is easily done statically, but adding <Host>
elements on the fly is a bit trickier.  The admin app of prior Tomcat
levels could accomplish this, but it has not yet been made available
with Tomcat 6.  If you need to create <Host> elements dynamically, you'd
need a bit of code to insert them into the Catalina container while
Tomcat is running.
