running tomcat with root user

I have the latest tomcat 6 installed under centos 5.2. The problem I am having is that it appears that I have to run tomcat as root user, because the spring app that tomcat starts needs to write files to other users' home directories. The tomcat user doesn't have access to these directories.

WEB-INF/classes vs WEB-INF/lib/classes.jar file

Is there any advantage why I should not just jar all my class files and put them in WEB-INF/lib rather than exploding the jar file to the classes directory? I like developing with the classes and I understand it is nice to let tomcat deploy a .war file but it also creates some problems for me
