What advantage will that provide you?
It is best to keep everything deployed to a given Tomcat container in
a subdirectory of either $CATALINA_HOME or $CATALINA_BASE (where those
are environment variables representing the Tomcat deployment
directories).

You can configure Tomcat to have multiple instances, where each
instance is rooted in $CATALINA_BASE while the Tomcat installation
itself (executables, etc.) reside in $CATALINA_HOME. It is best to
deploy web apps to the $CATALINA_BASE/webapps/ directory.
<http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/appdev/deployment.html>
In any event, the application base directory (which should *not* be
the root directory of a partition, i.e., do not use 'd:/') is set by
the 'appBase' attribute of the 'Host' element of server.xml, as the
documentation clearly states:
<http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/host.html>
You should read the documentation.
