How about installing everything from source ??

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. --David Jeff Sadowski wrote: > I'm still really unclear about what tomcat is.
