Hi Mark, Tomcat is only used for local development environment. In our production, we use Websphere application server on AIX. I am also new to this project and was told I can only use Tomcat 4.1 to setup my local development.
I like to clarify that the JVM 1.4 is no longer supported by Sun? Thanks, Jamez.
