Bzzzt. Sadly, you're completely right. Java has no knowladge of
the UNIX security architecture.

The apache has a "parent" process which runs as root, and spawns children
processes as "nobodies" (or whatever). Tomcat is running a single
process, does not spawn children, and from the beginning to the end
is the same
I have used a program called sudo which accesses root permission to startup
such services

Subject: how to start tomcat on port 80 w/o being
I want to create a tomcat user and start tomcat on port 80 under linux.
I know only root can use ports below 1024. However, apache can run as
someone other than root and still use port 80. I want to do something
similar. I know to change the ports settings on server.xml.
Thanks
