Another approach here is to move the Stanbol home _out_ of the directory of
your web container. I think that's a little clearer and safer, and that's how I
run Stanbol as a web app. You can do that with an init param in the Stanbol web
application's web.xml file, with an element like this:
</init-param>
<init-param> <!-- the default sling.home is set to stanbol -->
<param-name>sling.home</param-name>
<param-value>/my/directory/for/stanbol</param-value>
</init-param>
And of course you must give the Tomcat user rights to content under that
directory.
