The FHS says /var should contain "variable data" but Tomcat is a program. So actually it belongs into /usr/lib/tomcat or somewhere else. But the classes and config files definitely do not belong into /var, right? I also feel a bit uncomfortable putting my webapps below $TOMCAT_HOME because it looks like they were part of the Tomcat distribution. I'd like to have a clear separation of the webapps and Tomcat just like the separation of the Apache binaries from web content (/var/www on Debian or /var/lib/httpd on Redhat). For me, they should be placed in /var/webapps or /var/lib/tomcat/webapps. How do you see this? Does the current organization have Windows-portability reasons?
