Many questions about Tomcat file paths:

Is it okay to do what we are planning to do?

Here's the scenario:

We created our secure e-comm application using JSP, with the help of JBuilder. We are also running MySQL as our database. All our project works great on a local Linux machine running Apache and Tomcat. Now we need to deploy our final application on one of our main Linux servers.

Knowing beforehand how Tomcat can be tricky in such installations (we had problems with this before), my question is this:

First, here's what our layout looks like:

[oursite.com...]

----------- ----------
¦ Tomcat Apache ¦
----------- ----------

Ideally, we want to leave all our necessary files into our www.oursite.com directory. I know that Tomcat needs a minimum basic number of dirctorie such as WEB-APPS and WEB-INF but my question is: can we "import" and "export" files to and from Tomcat as we would like? Will Tomcat give us error messages if we do that?

Right now, we have preferred to stop on this project before going any further, just in case we make matters worse.

Could anyone here help me in any way on this little puzzle.

Thanks in advance guys!
