The servlet spec was designed around webapps being completely
self-contained packages of pages and logic. I'm sure there are people
on this list who what you are looking for ... I haven't. Maybe they
can chime in here.
As an alternative to storing webapps in tomcat's webapps directory, you
could place a <Context ... > ... </Context> xml fragment in a file in
conf/Catalina/localhost with docBase and path properly set. Then the
user deploy their own webapp in the folder pointed to by the docBase
attribute.

David,
Thanks for your input, I can test that out, but that would be a different
direction than I think I want to go.
I have running an apache web server that users access home directories
(mod_user) in order to run thier primarily php scripted web pages, but some
would like the option of jsp.
So currently I have tomcat running with mod_jk, and jkmount setup in apache
awaiting /*.jsp to interpret, and i'm able to successfully run a test.jsp
page which gets interpreted.
On that note, should I just as easily create a
~user/public_html/WEB-INF/web.xml ... or do I need to modify things to
the DBCP to function.
Thanks and I appreciate the instructions!

I think I see your problem. Don't modify the default web.xml file or the
default context.xml file unless you really have good reason to. Instead,
your webapp should be layed out similar to this, per the servlet spec:
DBTest
- test.jsp
- WEB-INF
- web.xml
- lib
- standard.jar
- jstl.jar
- META-INF
- context.xml
All this goes under tomcat's webapps directory. Separately, put your mysql
driver jar in tomcat's /lib directory for tomcat 6.0.x, /common/lib for most
previous versions of tomcat.
All the additional stuff you put in tomcat's /conf/web.xml and
/conf/context.xml should be put in the web.xml and context.xml files shown
above under DBTest. I've included standard.jar and jstl.jar above because
your test.jsp is using the sql jstl taglib.

It'd be helpful if you could post that file. Sanitize it for db

I am attempting to setup a tomcat mysql connection in order to allow
users
to write jsp webapps that can use a mysql database backend.
I have understood that this page seems to be a "walkthrough" on how to
set
this up, and I'm running into problems in the MySQL DBCP Example
section.
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html
I have followed the steps verbatim (except the javauser account password
in
mysql, I'm using something different)
In step 2, I put the <context...> entry separate of the existing context
entry located in $CATALINA_ROOT/conf/context.xml
In step 3, I put the <description> and <resource-ref> at the end of the
web.xml file (right before </web-app>
and I have created a testfile in $CATALINA_ROOT/webapps/ROOT/test.jsp
When I restart tomcat, logs/catalina.out has some lines like the
following
(where line 36 is the new <Context ...> entry):
