Here is a thought,
since it is the work dir created by tomcat that break things, why not
use jspc to build a jar of all your classes, and a servlet mapping file.
i think this process is described in the docs for jspc. hans bergstens
jsp book on oreilly also describe it.
i dont know if this is any help, but it was just a thought.
