The task of re-building the packages is such a collossal PITA 
that IMHO its not really worth using the JPacakge RPMs for Tomcat.

If you want really straightforward instructions for doing 
this I can recommend you check out the 'APLAWS Quick Start Install
Guide' in Appendix D. It illustrates good practice directory
