Good luck. I've never run Tomcat, have no experience with it, and don't
have any advice.

FeatureServer and WPServer are different, in that the 'core'
functionality of WPServer primarily depends on C code (in GDAL), though
if you wrote pure-Python actions, they could work under jython, I
suppose. I suppose you could also write JTS bindings, I assume.

I have no idea.

At this point, you have about an order of magnitude more experience than
me in Jython working with Tomcat, so I think you're on your own. Best of
luck.
