It sounds similar to what I'm attempting. I was finally able to setup Tomcat w/ IIS to allow webapps outside of $CATALINA_HOME, but haven't gone beyond any very simple JSP pages yet. You could do the same with Apache. To put it very basically, use your web server/OS to setup these student directories (and thus permissions/access), like any other user-based account/web areas irrespective of Tomcat, but, then you need to configure your web server and Tomcat to allow these places to host webapps and have Tomcat process them. Each student's web area will need to be added to Tomcat's server.xml and the properties file for whatever jk/jk2 module you use with which web server you use. Try getting that setup first, and then you should be at the point to ask for further, or at least more specific, help.
I would be curious to know any further specifics from this group, unless allowing a user's directory allows them to setup and deploy their own app's (in/below same) -- without any more work from the Tomcat/web server admin.?
