You don't HAVE to have Tomcat 4. In fact, I had to backpedal to Tomcat 3 for technical reasons. You only need Tomcat 4 if you intend to take advantage of features unique to the most recent releases of the
Servlet and JSP standards.
If you're referring to the server that was originally bundled with J2EE, I don't think you'll find it in the new package. Sun prefers Tomcat these days.

The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.
