I am not clear what is going on? Are your webapps or tomcat running
under a different group or etc? Why do you need group writable access to
webapps? Owner writable should work fine for most all needs. I can't
recall the bug, but I believe there were bugs in the past. I saw a few
referenced in ebuild, but I removed them because they were resolve quite
some time ago. Not sure if any pertain to this issue.

I need more info.

Absolutely not. The old ebuilds and etc used to hack and wrap Tomcat's
provided init scripts. For a variety of reasons we no longer use them,
and made our own init script. If anything, as documented in the future
section
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/java/tomcat-guide.xml

At some point I would like to use a init script developed by a Tomcat
developer, over an extended period of time.

Let me know what you are trying to do and etc. What's not working or etc
so I can look further into it. Thanks.
