David, just one note, i did some changes to disallow a complete webapp to be treated by OpenEJB.
Dunno if that is still up in the TomcatWebAppBuilder, but in the mid time that could be helpful. It can be a servlet context attribute or init property. org.apache.openejb.tomcat.catalina.TomcatWebAppBuilder.IGNORE it can be placed in the context.xml file, server.xml, http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html#Context_Parameters Hope it helps.
