Tomcat has no EJB container.

You just start up the j2ee server, following the instructions in the RI
download -- Tomcat is built in already. It makes a non-SSL HTTP connector
available on port 8000, and an SSL connector on port 7000.
Note that you'll also have to follow the procedures described in the
documentation for packaging and deploying your apps. In particular,
that's where the linkage between a particular JNDI name for an EJB, and
the actual implementation of the bean, is managed.

PS: If you're just starting out and using this for education, I'd suggest
downloading J2EE 1.3-beta-2 instead of 1.2. That way, you won't have to
relearn all the things that have changed between 1.2 and 1.3.
