making webapps without write access to $CATALINA_HOME



Hello,

I have an account on my friend's Linux box, and he installed
Tomcat 4.0.6 so that I could get some hands-on practice with
servlet and JSP development.  I was wondering if I will need
to have write access to the $CATALINA_HOME subdirectories
or whether there is a way to configure Tomcat to allow me to
use my ~/public_html directory.  If there is a HOWTO on this
that I missed, I apologize -- please forward the link. ;)

Erik,

ask your friend to create a symbolic link from hi webapps directory to
your application, e.g.

cd $CATALINA_HOME/webapps
ln -s /home/erik/my-app eriks-app
