I'm a little confused by your message.  Are you speaking about configuring
"JServ" vs "other application servers", or "Jserv with Turbine" vs "JServ with
other app servers"? 

I'll assume you are talking about configuring Turbine with JServ since this is
the Turbine mailing list.  You are correct that the current documentation
seems geared toward Tomcat, but the FAQ has alot of useful information
regarding setting up Turbine with JServ.

I don't think you're 'talking out of turn' to ask about better documentation
and your contribution of installation/configuration documentation is needed.
Your situation seems perfect for generating it ( since you've experienced it
first hand ).  FWIW there is some good information in the FAQ about installing
jserv/turbine.  Contributions of documentation to open source projects are as
valuable as contributing code.

Another helpful area, which many of us use, is this list and posting questions
here about configuration issues.  Being available to others here is also
contribution to the project.

I hope you don't take this as a flame.  I'm hoping to elicit some
contributions, as it seems you are, to make this product better.
