UserConfig question

[John Beamon <jb...@franklinamerican.com>]

I have a team of developers, each with a $HOME/tomcat/ directory.  They 
are authenticating against nss-LDAP, so they are not in /etc/passwd.  I 
would like for them to be able to drop wars in ~/tomcat/ and have them 
deploy without manually adding Contexts.  I've tried this...

=====
<Host name="localhost" debug="1" appBase="webapps"
        unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">


<Listener className="org.apache.catalina.startup.UserConfig"
         homeBase="/var/www" directoryName="tomcat" debug="1"
         userClass="org.apache.catalina.startup.HomesUserDatabase" />


=====

... with proper closing of the Listener and Host.  I have a 
"/var/www/jbeamon/tomcat/testwar.war" available.  ~jbeamon shows me a 
directory listing of testwar.war.  ~jbeamon/testwar answers HTTP-404, 
and ~jbeamon/testwar.war shows me the ASCII version of the compiled war. 
  I have the following log output.

I don't know what I'm missing, but I'm open to suggestions.  Every doc I 
find online about this copy-pastes the same instructions, including the 
"C:\homes" and comment about hosting on Windows.  Can someone offer 
something from experience?  Thanks in advance.
