That's a fair one-liner summary.
The more correct answer is that Tomcat complies with all of the mandatory
Servlet 2.3 and JSP 1.2 features, plus *some* of those that are only
required by a complete J2EE platform (i.e. the JNDI naming context, and
availability of a JDBC data source accessed via an API compatible with
J2EE standards).
It has no support for EJB, JMS, ... so it is absolutely not a J2EE
compliant server by itself. Nobody eer claimed it was (although I can't
help it when people make assumptions).
What makes more confusing is that several people bundle Tomcat into a
complete J2EE-ish thing. Sun does that with the J2EE RI, for example --
but it's only a J2EE platform when you use all of it. But Tomcat by
itself is not a J2EE container.
