Craig, this last bit caught my attention...
Currently our application uses .jar files spread out all over the place, will
tomcat v4 not work under those conditions?
thanks

Subject: Re: question about WEB-INF/lib
PS: Classpath problems are so prevalent that Tomcat 4's startup scripts
totally ignore the user's CLASSPATH variable. If you want to share JARs
across multiple webapps, put them in $TOMCAT_HOME/lib -- otherwise, put
them in the /WEB-INF/lib directory of the webapp that needs them. This
strategy also works in Tomcat 3.2 (as long as you don't have so many JARs
in $TOMCAT_HOME/lib that the environment variable length of your OS is
exceeded).
