Tomcat is really a whole service environment for running java servlets
and jsp. Don't think if it in terms of CGIs that just run for the
request and close down. Tomcat is more akin to Apache's httpd,
listening ports and responding to client requests on the http or https
protocol. It can be proxied with Httpd if you want using either
straight http reverse proxying or a custom AJP protocol.
Tomcat is fully open source and can run with the Sun JRE as of version
5.5 (maybe 5.0, but I'm not sure without looking it up).
Don't use gcj -- it's not a complete enough java environment. I've
heard IBM's implementation of java is pretty good but haven't tried it.

I'm still really unclear about what tomcat is. I have never used it I
play mostly with php and html.
I have another engineer that would like to use it. Is there a fully
open source alternative?
I guess tomcat itself is open source but it depends on java
development kit? is that right?
I'm more interested in if it could use something from the gcj project?
I know I can run java applications on my Altix 330 it has the "java"
command. I know I can compile some java code as well with gcj but I
take it that there is more too it than that? right? I guess I could
also use gcj to compile the java code to binaries and run them as cgi?
I guess I really need to ask my other engineer but I was just trying
to get as much done as I could and try and install the application he
asked for (tomcat)
Thanks

I would like to run apache-tomcat on an dual Itanium server I have at
work.
I cannot find JDK for it nor can I find anything besides gcj
Is it possable to build tomcat with gcj?
has anyone gotten tomcat to run on a ia64 linux machine? or ia64
windows even(I think MS stoped support for the ia64 even) for that
matter?
(the machine I'm looking at only supports linux and is headless) its
an SGI Altix 330
