of course, there are significant differences between Servlet API 2.0 and 2.2
(which is what Tomcat supports). In 2.2, web applications were introduced,
and normally one (I) would place jetspeed in such a one by creating a
subdirectory under webapps, therein adding a We-inf subdirectory with a
web.xml file. Also, if you put your jar files in a lib directory below
Web-inf, these should automatically get loaded by tomcat into the classpath
for the application. Unfortunatley, this does not work in all cases (I think
classes that are loaded via Class.forName() dont work - which is a Tomcat
bug), so some jars must be put into the global classpath (tomcat.sh). For
me, these are castor an xerces.
The /content stuff must be put into the web server root, which for tomcat is
in webapps/ROOT. Beware - in the CVS this is being changed. The CVS code
requires some /content stuff from the application directory (which is where
it belongs) and some from ROOT.
Note that if you use the servlet 2.2 application setup described above, you
will have to put the application name before "servlet" in the url, thus it
becomes: http://yourserver/appdirname/servlet/jetspeed There may be ways to
configure this differently, or you can put your code under ROOT rightaway.

a web.xml sample is on the jetspeed website.

The servlet IS mentioned in the web.xml sample on the jetspeed website.

I had no problem reading the .properties files. I even learned something
along the way ;-)

To my knowledge authentication is turned off in the released jetspeed code.
In the CVS, it is turned on.
