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.?

Thanks,
-Matt
