Servlet container is an option, but since they are willing to provide a Solaris 10 Zone with Tomcat on it, you could install wotaskd and Monitor on it. You don't need to be root to install those tools (you do need to create an "appserver" user, so that the WO apps won't run under your user), so even if they don't give you root access to the machine, you're fine. Same thing for the Linux box, as long you have access to the file system, you can install the normal WO deployment tools.
