@Jordan, Thank you for the fast response! That sounds like the perfect answer for me.
One follow up question... In the "default" tomcat install (which I understand I will be uninstalling to use the OpenBD installer referenced) the directory was not under the /opt ... will the installer allow me to choose the directories or are they defaulted/unchangeable? Thanks again!!
